Latest Issue:

The Mandelson Affair: After Peter Mandelson’s spectacular fall into further disgrace, with more revelations this week about his close ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Ailbhe Rea retraces the steps that led Keir Starmer to appoint the former peer as US ambassador last year. She assesses the cost of that decision – for the Prime Minister, his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, and the Labour Party. Meanwhile, Steve Richards gives his view on the scandal – which he sees as the biggest in British politics since the Profumo affair – and Tina Brown explains why Donald Trump will escape the fallout from the latest tranche of Epstein files. Plus:
  • Joshua Craze on the war and humanitarian crisis in Sudan
  • Rachel Cunliffe reviews Bonfire of the Murdochs by Gabriel Sherman
  • Michael Prodger on landscape painting by British women
  • Emily Lawford says goodbye and good riddance to Pornhub in the UK
