The Mandelson-Epstein Emails - Who Knew What, When?

We speak about how Starmer knew about Mandelson’s links to Epstein when appointing him.

Today, we look at how Bloomberg broke the story of Mandelson’s emails to Jeffrey Epstein that got him sacked as US ambassador. And we hear new information about the investigation Keir Starmer carried out into the relationship before appointing him.

Laura and Paddy are joined by Alex Campbell who led the Bloomberg team.
