Well, I think if you've... We all have friends who've become miscreants, disappointed us, let us down
0:08
But in this particular case, a very powerful man, convicted of child prostitution
0:16
the fact that somebody of Peter Mandelson's level in society chose to continue that relationship after the prison sentence
0:26
isn't just an error of judgement on Maddelson's part. It's a grave error of judgement on the Prime Minister's behalf too
0:33
I'll come on to the Prime Minister. Your Treasurer Nick Candy actually appears in the Epstein files
0:36
asking for Ghislaine Maxwell's email address. Epstein says he likes him a lot
0:41
You know, given the circumstances, yes, is his position in the party tenable? Well, Nick was selling properties
0:47
You know, Nick will sell properties to anybody. That's what Nick does. He's done it for decades
0:51
He's rather good at it. I'm not worried about that in the least. I mean I'm mentioned 37 times but mercifully in no negative ways. A lot of people are mentioned
0:58
in this. Nick is a real estate property salesman, he'll sell properties to anybody that will
1:03
buy them. I think this particular one was valued at 39 million. Do you have confidence now given what happened yesterday in the vetting, the review of the
1:11
vetting process Look I mean we still don know the full truth We going to find out the truth The Prime Minister tried yesterday to say
1:23
well, you can't get any information on national security and you can't get any information on international relations
1:29
Then he widened it to you can't get anything on trade. We were going to be given nothing
1:34
And his own backbenches, led effectively by Angela Rayner, have demanded that that's not the case
1:41
So we'll find out more. And we'll find out the extent to which Morgan McSweeney and the Prime Minister knew about the ongoing relationship
1:52
Keir Starmer, does the Prime Minister need to go? What was interesting yesterday was watching the faces of the backbenches in the Commons
2:01
There was almost no support for him at all. I even saw Labour MPs with their eyes shut, just sitting through it, as if saying to themselves, please, can this be over
2:09
He is deeply unloved by his own party. He was never loved by the country
2:15
He's the most unpopular Prime Minister of modern times. And ultimately, Prime Ministers get things right, they get things wrong
2:22
But the reason they become Prime Minister is because people trust their judgment
2:25
And his judgment is seriously wrong. Should he stand down? He won't stand down voluntarily, quickly, but I very much doubt he'll be there in three
