Behind-the-scenes deals include Mandelson promising David Lammy he’d “never regret” his US ambassadorship — a statement that now looks deeply ironic. Critics are calling it “extraordinary treachery,” while ministers scramble over benefit funding, prompting Kemi Badenoch to label Labour the “welfare party.” Meanwhile, Anthropic aims for a trillion-dollar IPO, setting up a high-stakes AI showdown with OpenAI. And in lighter news, cancer-stricken football legend Kevin Keegan finds solace in his Liverpool-supporting doctor — and the club’s anthem, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
