Chopper's Politics: Mandelson: ‘I’ve yet to meet a Tory who says they are going to win’ | Podcast

It's a bumper episode for Chopper's Politics listeners this week, don't say we don't treat you. Lord Mandelson joins Christopher Hope on the week that former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was barred from standing as Labour candidate. He muses on whether Sir Keir Starmer might actually want Corbyn to run against him ("I couldn't possibly say..."), reveals how impressed he is by the upcoming crop of Labour candidates, "absolutely as good, if not better, than those we selected in the 1990s before the new Labour government", but why his party can't presume it's in the bag. Plus Henry Dimbleby on nutrition and the nanny state, and Professor Tim Bale on whether the Tories can still claim to be the party of reinvention.
