Guardian leader writer Tom Clark presents a special edition of our politics podcast, on the stunning return to government of the EU commissioner Peter Mandelson.
In the podcast studio to analyse the story are Guardian political commentator Martin Kettle and guardian.co.uk's Jenny Percival.
Our senior political commentator Michael White is at Westminster, where he has been taking the temperature among MPs - some of whom are very hot under the collar indeed.
And we talk to James Macintyre, the new political correspondent of the New Statesman, who bagged what now appears to be a remarkably prescient interview with Mandelson just days ago.
