"NEW: * Could we see a crunch point as soon as tomorrow over Mandelson * Tories have an opposition day debate - could they force a vote on Mandelson vetting disclosure. Shadow cabinet sources tell me they're thinking about it * Labour MPs tell me they COULD vote for it. They don't think they can block transparency about Mandelson * But some Labour MPs also want to use it to embarrass Morgan McSweeney. "If this vote gets rid of the ginger guy we will go for it" said one Labour MP. * Other Labour MPs are circling the wagons to protect McSweeney for getting Labour in government No final decisions"

"What could the Tories ask for: * The McSweeney-authored letter from Starmer to Mandelson asking for reassurances that No10 later said he broke when he was sacked * Vetting (but the foreign affairs committee were told this is not revealing) * Due dilegence papers (likely to be more punch) * Security concerns (would have to be shows only to a select committee) NEW: * Could we see a crunch point as soon as tomorrow over Mandelson * Tories have an opposition day debate - could they force a vote on Mandelson vetting disclosure.

"@ZiaYusufUK Oh for goodness sake. I was typing it one handed while running out the door cutting and pasting it from the pollster email to get it out quickly after one of your own team complained it wasn't on the podcast because it was all Mandelson and Epstein. Honestly"

"NEW: Labour MPs tell me that there will likely be so many Labour rebels tomorrow they do not expect No10 to whip them to oppose a Tory "humble address" forcing the disclosure of documents about Mandelson in the run-up to the disclosure of the documents. Lab MPs say the best hope for No10 is that the Tory motion is imprecisely worded and there is no subsequent substantial disclosure All eyes on what the Tories do next. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018668499590074598 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018668499590074598"

"Playbook PM: Of course there are still questions about the ambassadorial vetting process. My POLITICO colleague Dan Bloom confirmed the Sam Coates scoop that that the Tories are plotting a Commons vote tomorrow aimed at forcing the vetting details to be published. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper revealed in September that Mandelson was not subjected to full national security vetting until after his appointment had been announced. One government official told Dan: If there wasnt any real vetting until after the appointment that could be very damaging in my view"

"🚨Massive day ahead. On Politics at Sam and Annes podcast out shortly we explain how the Tories will try and force disclosure of Mandelson vetting and emails The government cannot resist this because its lost its majority on the issue () BUT Ministers will say they accept the transparency demand but then try and sneak though a national security exemption in a rival motion voted on first which will then in practice be used to block a large number of documents the Tores have requested Will it work Who will win Its all explained in Politics at Sam And Annes out shortly"

"So the big question this morning: do Labour MPs vote later for the government amendment to motion to publish the Mandelson files (which will be the first vote) - and pretend that they are voting for transparency - even though the except papers prejudicial to UK national security or international relations clause surely - deliberately - scuppers chance of really much meaningful disclosure Do they go along with it to save the PMs skin https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018978819227463930 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018978819227463930"

"More on the alleged "hear no evil see no evil" attitude towards Mandelson in Keir Starmer's speech Keir Starmer said just now there were questions ahead of the Ambassador appointment about the "nature and extent of the relationship" including "whether he stayed at Epstein's premises". Starmer says the answers given were "intentionally intended to create the impression that Mandelson barely knew him". In a subsequent answer he says he lied about the relationship. But did Mandelson specifically deny - and lie - about the fact he took a hospitality freebie from Epstein post jailing There hasn't"

"From Morgan McSweeny After careful reflection I have decided to resign from the government. The decision to appoint Peter Mandelson was wrong. He has damaged our party our country and trust in politics itself. When asked I advised the Prime Minister to make that appointment and I take full responsibility for that advice. In public life responsibility must be owned when it matters most not just when it is most convenient. In the circumstances the only honourable course is to step aside. This has not been an easy decision. Much has been written and said about me over the years but my"
