00:00Damien, on the UK front, because the UK does seem to be more affected than the US at this point,
00:07so there was also former Prince Andrew who has moved out of his home in Windsor.
00:12How has this eviction gone down? There were a few details, right?
00:18Well, he had to leave in the dead of night, which is kind of fitting.
00:22Yeah, he's already had an incredible fall from grace, and this is, yes, another step or three down the ladder.
00:29He's gone off to live on the royal estate in Norfolk, where he'll be hidden from view,
00:36and the hope is that he'll see out his dotage there and stop causing such embarrassment.
00:41It's worth pointing out that we've only seen half, 50% of the files are still to be released, if they're going to be released,
00:49and so there's the possibility that we will learn a great deal more than anyone could possibly want to
00:53about what Prince Andrew got up to on Epstein Island.
00:56Exactly, and Damien, not only the former disgraced Prince Andrew, there's also Peter Mandelson,
01:03who's officially stepped down, and Keir Starmer, that has been grilled today during Parliament.
01:08Tell us a bit more about that.
01:09Well, the irony of the Prince Andrew affair is that he needs to get out in front of it and to give an interview
01:16or to talk about what's happened.
01:17It's not enough anymore to just maintain a sort of dignified silence.
01:22But the problem is the last time he gave an interview, famously to Emily Maitlis, he nearly brought down the royal family.
01:28And that is sort of, there's a reflection of what is happening with Lord Mandelson, still Lord Mandelson,
01:35and the effect this is having on Keir Starmer's government.
01:38The revelations that Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of the UK, appointed Mandelson to be our ambassador to the US,
01:49the most prominent position in the US and in the UK government,
01:53despite knowing, it came out today, that Lord Mandelson maintained his friendship with Epstein
02:00after he'd been established and he'd served time for being a paedophile,
02:04is absolutely rocking the establishment.
02:07And there are strong rumours that it may bring down the Prime Minister.
