"We're starting to turn the corner. I believe if we stick with Keir Starmer, which we will, then that corner will turn faster and people will start to feel it. But I completely understand the anger and the distress at what's happened with Peter Mandelson's appointment. I completely agree with that, and that's why I'm really pleased to see a genuine, genuine apology from Keir Starmer."
"I trust that, I trust Keir Starmer. Let's see what comes out from the documents. I think transparency is vital and that's what we're getting from this government."
"The PM knows what he's doing and he gets there in the end, but I just think he needs to trust his instincts more and not trust some of the advice he's given."
Patrick Hurley backed the prime minister but said the prime minister needs to trust his instincts more and not rely on some advice. Hurley warned the Mandelson affair is a major distraction ahead of the Manchester by-election and said changes to backroom staff are needed. The prime minister apologised for believing Mandelson's lies about ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Home Office minister Mike Tapp said the party is starting to turn the corner and that sticking with Keir Starmer will accelerate that shift. Tapp said Sir Keir had clearly been lied to during vetting and called for transparency through published documents.
