Lord Mandelson is still the main topic for discussion on the podcast – as Anne reports back from an event with the US ambassador to London, Warren Stephens.
Sam and Anne both pick over Peter Mandelson’s interview with The Times, where he is pictured standing next to an aga and seems to hint there’s still a way back to politics by saying “I want to be more of an outsider”.

Plus, what does all this mean for the prime minister and his senior staff who appointed Lord Mandelson as a UK ambassador to the US?
