I'm Ed Vasey. We're going to be unpacking the politics of the day from whether Kier Starrma will have to resign over the Peter Mandelson scandal, to whether AI should be advising us on defence policy, and which Brits under the age of 30 are most inspiring?

Joining me are two people who are highly inspiring.

Alice Demby, welcome to the show.

Hello, thank you for having me.

Why didn't you make the top 30 under 30?

I'm not under 30 yet, just kind of you to say.

You're kidding, Alice.

Obviously, otherwise I would have been in it if i was

just one year or younger exactly so you're 31 so you just missed the cut michael binion

isn't it depressing reading about these yes whippers snappers doing so well i think i made the top 30

in about 1920 or so.

I didn't do anything by the time I was 30. It was so depressing.

Anyway, somebody who may be doing nothing very soon is Keir Stama. He's in trouble.

Foreign Office's most senior civil servant, Olly Robbins, has lost his job after it was revealed the department didn't tell the Prime Minister, so it's alleged anyway, that

Madelson failed security vetting to become a US ambassador.

This was the Prime Minister speaking to reporters a little earlier.

That I wasn't told that Peter Mandelson had failed security vetting when he's appointed is staggering.

That I wasn't told that it failed security vetting when I was telling

Parliament that due process had been followed is unforgivable. Not only was I not told,

no minister was told. And I'm absolutely furious about that. What I intend to do is to go to Parliament on Monday

to set out all the relevant facts in true transparency.

So Parliament has the full picture.
