01.06.2026The day of the Mandelson Files dump

The day was dominated by the release of over 1,400 pages of the 'Mandelson Files', exposing internal Labour chaos through secret WhatsApp messages and memos. The story built from early morning teasers in the Mirror to the afternoon dump, with revelations that Mandelson called Starmer's No10 'beleaguered and bereft', urged a more 'Trumpian' approach, and that ministers complained about tax policy. The Telegraph and Daily Mail led with the fallout, while Andy Burnham attacked centralisation of power. By evening, Labour MPs admitted embarrassment. US-Iran tensions escalated: Kuwait reported missile and drone attacks, the US struck radar sites, and Iran suspended peace talks after Israeli operations in Lebanon. Israel captured Beaufort Castle and bombed southern Beirut, with Hezbollah later agreeing to a reciprocal ceasefire. Tube strikes were confirmed after talks failed, and Arsenal's trophy parade saw 16 arrests.
