How bad are the Mandelson files for Keir Starmer?

The News Agents

About this episode

The release of the Mandelson files revealed that Keir Starmer pushed on with appointing Peter Mandelson as US ambassador despite warnings over his links to Epstein. The National Security Adviser, Jonathan Powell, called the appointment 'weirdly rushed' and said that Mandelson was ‘always a disaster’. The Prime Minister 'it was me that made the mistake'.

So, was due diligence really followed in the appointment of Mandelson? And how much have we actually learnt from the files?
