It follows questions around Starmer's judgement over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador.  Report by Keechl.

00:00I don't think that the Prime Minister's position is tenable, but it will be up to Labour MPs and members of the Labour Party to decide what to do.

00:09The Conservative Party doesn't have the votes in Parliament to force the Prime Minister out.

00:16But I would say that given Kemi Badenoch's questioning on Wednesday, given the six-hour debate that we forced on the government

00:23and forced them to say that they would release the documents into Mandelson's appointment,

00:27it's starting to become a question of when and not if.

00:32And if it's going to be when, then the Labour Party should get on and sort it out quickly so that it doesn't create a distraction for months ahead.
