• The migrant return scheme: One-in, none-out?

  A government deportation deal with France – designed to deter small boat crossings – has been beset by delays and legal challenges.    The first few migrants detained in Dover as part of the so-called one-in-one-out scheme were meant to be on a flight to France on Monday. That didn’t happen.    And even when the first deportations do begin, there is a cap on the number of people who can be returned. So, what is the government trying to achieve?    Danny Shaw, former adviser to Yvette Cooper – who was home secretary until last week – explains what the policy is and how it should work. Niall is also joined by Sky’s community correspondent, Lisa Holland, who is awaiting arrivals in France.  Producer: Natalie Ktena and Emily Hulme  Editor: Mike Bovill

• Andy Burnham: Is “King in the North” trying to take Starmer’s throne?

  Sir Keir Starmer has only been prime minister for 16 months but already there are reports some Labour MPs want him out.   The details that have emerged about Peter Mandelson's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the Angela Rayner tax scandal and Labour's perceived lack of direction by some in the party have all put pressure on Sir Keir - with a growing number of MPs said to be feeling he has until May's local elections to turn things around.   It's the biggest threat to his leadership so far and a somewhat familiar name is reportedly preparing to try and replace him.   Allies of Andy Burnham – the “King in the North” who’s currently the Mayor of Greater Manchester – have launched a new campaign group, Mainstream, calling on the government to introduce a wealth tax, nationalise utility companies and end the two-child benefit cap.   Who is Andy Burnham and how plausible is it that he could replace Sir Keir? How fragile is the prime minister’s position and what would a Labour leadership election look like?    Niall Paterson is joined by Professor Robert Ford, professor of political science at the University of Manchester and a senior fellow at UK in a Changing Europe.  Producer: Natalie Ktena & Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill

• The fall and rise (and fall again) of Peter Mandelson

  He may have described himself as a ‘fighter not a quitter’, but even Peter Mandelson couldn’t survive new and lurid revelations about his relationship with convicted paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. The ultimate political animal, Mandelson was no stranger to scandal – having twice been forced to resign from Tony Blair’s Cabinet. But brought back into the Labour fold by Gordon Brown after a successful stint as European Commissioner, the former spin doctor went on to enjoy a career renaissance – which eventually took him to Washington as the UK’s ambassador to the United States. However, Mandelson was summoned home from DC in disgrace, following the publication of a cache of embarrassing emails and other communications between himself and Epstein.  Was his downfall inevitable? And should Sir Keir Starmer have known better than to entrust one of the biggest diplomatic roles in the world to a man with a track record of self-destruction? Niall is joined by former ambassador and National Security Advisor, Lord Ricketts, and Sky News’ former political editor, Adam Boulton. Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill
