In February, I spoke on Politics Live about the growing sense of chaos within the Labour Party.
The events surrounding Peter Mandelson only deepen those concerns. At a time when the country needs clarity and strong leadership we are instead seeing confusion and inconsistency from the top.
From Keir Starmer there has been deflection, deferring and denial rather than decisive leadership. 18 months into his leadership this pattern of weakness is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
At a time of significant national and international challenges the country deserves steadiness accountability and clear direction.
