Adam joins Laura and Paddy to chew over the latest news from Iran, Scotland and Downing Street. Ahead of the prime minister鈥檚 appearance in parliament, they discuss what we鈥檝e learned about what Sir Keir Starmer knew, or did not know, about the Lord Mandelson鈥檚 vetting by the foreign office. Laura spoke to cabinet minister Liz Kendall, who backed the PM and said that Starmer would have blocked the appointment of Lord Mandelson as US ambassador had he known he failed security vetting.

Elsewhere, negotiations continue between the US and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz. But is it actually currently open or closed? Has the ceasefire been breached? And what happens next? Paddy has been putting those questions to Lyse Doucet in Tehran. Also, Laura has been in Scotland speaking to voters and the party leaders about how those issues and others will affect which way voters go in the May elections.
