00:00Really, I don't know right now what the answer is for Keir Starmer.
00:05He has been under immense pressure for a long time.
00:09We've seen 11 MPs leave his cabinet, some related to quite serious scandals.
00:17The heat is on him over Peter Mandelson.
00:20No one is taking the foot off the gas when it comes to this.
00:24Is there any way that he can come out of this politically unscathed?
00:30Keir Starmer?
00:31Yes.
00:31Keir Starmer, well, the very internal dynamics of UK politics,
00:38they will use, the opponents are using this to have a storm around Keir Starmer.
00:44But it's part of the internal culture of doing politics.
00:48But seeing it from outside, Peter Mandelson is a veteran politician.
00:55Seen from inside, he is a bit dark.
00:57He has a lot of negative stories going around him.
01:00From outside, he has been the EU commissioner for five years.
01:04He is a prominent politician.
01:06And he is now in this huge storm called Jeffrey Epstein,
01:11who is like an octopus hitting right and left everywhere,
01:15from Donald Trump to the king himself and his brother, and now too.
01:19So it's a big story.
01:21Epstein is an octopus.
01:22He has been in contact with everyone.
01:24Now in the details, the problem is that Mendelssohn has been in contact with the Epstein world
01:31after he was, you know, in his troubles.
01:34And he cannot say that I didn't know.
01:36Now we will see how much, I mean, it's going to be, of course, damaging,
01:41but within limits, I think.
01:43It's not going to be the collapse of the government or anything.
01:45This is what I think.
