Peter Mandelson is still the main topic for discussion on the podcast again – as Anne reports back from an event with the US ambassador to London. Sam and Anne both pick over Mandelson’s interview with the Times – where, beyond the photos at the Aga, he seems to hint that there’s still a way back to politics by saying “I want to be more of an outsider”. At last night's event, Anne picks up on U.S. reaction to the Mandelson saga – but there is a stark warning for transatlantic business relations. Plus, what does all this mean for the Prime Minister and his senior staff who appointed Mandelson to Ambassador?
