DAN HODGES: Even sacrificing Mandelson might not save Starmer

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Was this former Director of Public Prosecutions honestly unaware of the scandal sitting right under his nose? 'Labour's Deputy Leadership contest has become a proxy confidence vote on Starmer's leadership - and it's a confidence vote the PM is losing' Or is the truth this: that Starmer wanted Mandelson - with that Machiavellian guile - to be his sherpa in Washington and adopted a 'don't ask, don't tell' approach to his problematic past.
23% : We know, too, that Lord Glassman, who was asked to produce a report for Downing Street following meetings with Trump advisers and allies, specifically warned that the Epstein relationship was so problematic, Mandelson should not be appointed.
