The government could be plunged into fresh chaos today after the second wave of files relating to Peter Mandelson was released.

The former Deputy PM took to the beach yesterday on the hottest May Bank Holiday on record.

Sir Keir Starmer’s Government has a “duty” to be transparent and release documents related to the collapse of the alleged Chinese spying trial, the Conservatives have said.
