Do the Mandelson files mean more trouble for Starmer? | This Is Why

The first batch of the Mandelson files have finally been released – but even though there’s still more to come, there are already serious questions for the prime minister.

How much was known about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein? And could more have been done to prevent a five-figure payout following his downfall?

Niall is joined by Sky’s political correspondent Rob Powell, who has been going through the files.
