About this episode

The UK's Prime Minister is facing growing questions over what he knew about Peter Mandelson's relationship with Jeffery Epstein when he appointed him as Ambassador to the US. Keir Starmer fired him after Bloomberg published a series of emails between Mandelson and the convicted paedophile. The departure comes at a difficult time for the government as it prepares to host a state visit for the US President. In this final episode of the Bloomberg UK Politics podcast, our finance reporter Harry Wilson takes us behind the scenes of the Bloomberg scoop. He tells us what the emails reveal, alongside our political correspondent Ellen Milligan. Hosted by Stephen Carroll and Caroline Hepker with Yuan Potts, who share their thoughts on more than 1,000 episodes of the show.
