Has Mandelson Wounded Labour?

from Talkback with Petrie Hosken

While facing the commons over Lord Mandelson, Keir Starmer said that he had changed plans on releasing files on Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador - and now sensitive information could be referred to a committee rather than being exempt. This follows a rebellion by Labour MPs and outspoken interventions from Angela Rayner and Dame Meg Hillier, as well as Tory Leader Kemi Badenoch. Petrie wants your thoughts on what this scandal has done to The Labour Party. Author and Political Commentator, Jennifer Nadel, goes over everything that the Prime Minister has had to deal with so far and what could be facing in the near future. Political Correspondent at the Sunday Times in Scotland, John Boothman, believes that this is just the latest in a long line of issues for the government. You then get your chance to have your say and tell Petrie what you think that has done to Keir Starmer and Labour.
