'Beleaguered and bereft' - Mandelson messages reveal criticism of No 10
The World TonightAvailable for over a year
Long-awaited documents published by the government have revealed messages between Lord Mandelson and ministers strongly criticising the prime minister, No 10 and Labour MPs. We hear reaction from Labour MP Kim Johnson. Also in the programme: a new proposal could see abusive air passengers placed on a national blacklist and prevented from flying. And on what would have been her 100th birthday, we reflect on how Marilyn Monroe’s legacy has evolved over the years.
