Government Minister SPEAKS OUT over Peter Mandelson friendship.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting speaks exclusively to Beth Rigby as pressure mounts on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign following a turbulent week for the Labour government.
In this interview, Wes Streeting urges the public to “give Keir Starmer a chance”, admitting it “has not been the best week for the government” and acknowledging the increasingly “febrile” political atmosphere in Westminster.
The episode comes after a weekend of intense briefing about Wes Streeting’s links to Peter Mandelson, the former Labour strategist and ex-UK ambassador to the United States. Wes Streeting has shown Beth Rigby messages exchanged between the pair during the period when Peter Mandelson was ambassador in Washington. This is all comes after damaging revelations about Peter Mandelson's relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Plus, how significant are the latest comments from Anas Sarwar, Leader of the Scottish Labour Party? Sarwar has today called on Keir Starmer to resign, saying “the situation in Downing Street is not good enough”. What impact could this have on Labour’s leadership and the wider party?
