Sir Keir Starmer is facing mounting pressure in Parliament over his handling of Lord Mandelson’s resignation as US ambassador.
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has accused Starmer and his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney of having “forced through” Mandelson’s appointment, despite warnings, with the party demanding the release of the so-called “Mandelson-Epstein files”.
Camilla and Tim ask if the controversy is at risk of overshadowing President Donald Trump’s state visit this week.
And Tim speaks to Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan about the gender-critical social media posts that saw him arrested by armed police at Heathrow Airport and what it means for the future of free speech online.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
