are you agreeing with that famous quote from peter mandelson, are you saying you are intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich? as long as they pay their taxes. which peter of course said. yes, we do want people to be able to get on in life. to be filthy rich? yes, if they're going to be filthy, i wouldn't use that term, but people who are going to have great wealth, it is about showing that wealth and understanding when that wealth comes from. so you won't attack rishi sunakfor being rich? i won't attack and for being rich but i will attack him if he doesn't use the wealth in a way that is responsible, we talk about rich people paying a bit more and try to push the burden of what was a couple of weeks ago and a budget that absolutely decimated our economy and now there is a black hole, do not make working people who are already paying more through their mortgages and through the cost of living, pay for that mistake. it is about what he prioritises as a prime minister and shows that he understands what it is like for other people. i don't expect him not to be rich. so, it's cl

just to put it on the quote peter mandelson said recently, you know, the target voter for labour's what he called harrow man and harrow woman, sort of aspirational people, people who've made it good small town and they don't want what he calls woke activists or militant trade unions looking down on them and saying they're too rich and they're not liberal enough and they're ideologically unsound. well, i mean, i think the most important thing for our party is about instead of going how we can divide people based on whether it's these so called woke arguments or whether it says, are you for or against trade unions or whatever else it's about, actually, these are distractions from what you're going to do to improve my life. that's what the voters asked me. well, what are you going to do? i've heard that you don't like the tories ange, but what are you going to do to improve my life? and can you have credibility in delivering it? they certainly have heard you say that you don't like the tories. i just want to play you a little clip of a radio four comedy programme, dead ringers. first in th

there was the peter mandelson resignation, the one that sticks in my head was gordon brown was about to call a general election and, frankly, had he done so at that point, new labour might have survived another five years but he delayed. and i got the call to go into downing street and interview him in downing street and i didn't know which way he would go. an when he said, andrew, i've decided there's not going to be a general election, i thought, well... a very good impression! i have disliked the dissipate my jaw to get it right! the right thing for the country is not have a general election and i thought, well, and i remember doing the interview and go to the window and looking down and there pacing furiously around was adam boulton of the sky news team and i thought, yeah! it's funny because when i got the call to do the interview with the former prime minister, part of the dawning process, it was obvious she was in a lot of trouble, but the very taking of the call showed how much trouble she was in because the only reason i was being invited was because of the amount of trouble

mandelson resigned, came back in, not unprecedented for politicians to mess up, say sorry, get anotherjob. if you breach the ministerial code in the six days previously, and then the prime minister re—appoints you to thejob that the prime minister re—appoints you to the job that is in charge of security, national security, that takes this immensely seriously, still a huge number of questions to be answered about whether it was the only occasion when there have been these kinds of security lapses, whether she had been involved in other kinds of security lapses where there have been allegations... do ou there have been allegations... do you think she should stand aside? resigned? let me finish the point first. where there is also a report of the cabinet secretary and cabinet office having advised against disappointment. keir starmer has made clear rishi sunak should be replacing her. it was an error of judgment to appoint her this immensely seriousjob judgment to appoint her this immensely serious job and to do so for the sake of the political deal, just in order to get his way into num

mandelson just there, the former minister who used that line himself the best part of 20 odd years ago. but it was a defiant performance from the prime minister at lunchtime without question in the most difficult of circumstances, she is determined to cling on, but her future is not solely in her hands and that is not always the case for and that is not always the case for a prime minister but normally not so early in their premiership, they can rely on the support of their party but right now, she can't.- rely on the support of their party but right now, she can't. before we let ou but right now, she can't. before we let you go. — but right now, she can't. before we let you go. some — but right now, she can't. before we let you go. some up _ but right now, she can't. before we let you go, some up for— but right now, she can't. before we let you go, some up for us - but right now, she can't. before we let you go, some up for us what i but right now, she can't. before we let you go, some up for us what we know about suella braverman leaving the government, the very important post
