Hurricane Mandy continues to swirl through Westminster, after revelations that Peter Mandelson was appointed US Ambassador despite failing security vetting, adding to the growing scandal that has now claimed another political casualty, top civil servant Sir Olly Robbins. What will it take for the Prime Minister to take responsibility for this mess?

Our panel this week is former Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer and Reform UK member, Nadim Zahawi, former SNP MP Joanna Cherry, and journalist and author, Paul Mason.

The programme also features a range of guests weighing in on the Mandelson row and the upcoming elections, including Science Secretary Liz Kendall, Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey, and Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth.

You can watch Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips every week from 8:30 am on Sky News.
