Patrick Christys claims 𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳 was “shaking like a leaf” at PMQs as his p0litical legacy collapses
GB News presenter Patrick Christys has launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister 𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳, claiming he appeared “shaking like a leaf” during Prime Minister’s Questions, as the full weight of a devastating p0litical scandal began to crush his leadership.
In a furious prime-time monologue, Christys said Britain is now witnessing the unraveling of 𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳’s entire p0litical legacy, following the Prime Minister’s admission in the Commons that he knew about the ongoing association between Peter Mandelson and convicted s.e.x offender Jeffrey Epstein before appointing Mandelson as Britain’s ambassador to the United States.
“A Prime Minister visibly rattled”
Christys described the moment Starmer stood at the despatch box as a defining image of a government in crisis. He pointed to the Prime Minister’s visibly trembling hands, clasped together in what he said was a subconscious attempt to steady himself.
“This wasn’t tiredness,” Christys told viewers. “This was fear. The fear of a man who knows the story has got away from him — and that his name will never escape it.”
According to the GB News host, Starmer’s body language told a story words could not: a leader who knows the damage is done.
A bombshell admission and accusations of recklessness
The controversy centres on Starmer’s confirmation at PMQs that he relied on Mandelson’s personal assurances, rather than formal security advice alone, when approving one of the most sensitive diplomatic appointments in modern British politics.
Christys argued that the admission raises serious questions about national security, particularly amid claims that market-sensitive information may have been exposed — allegations some critics have gone as far as to label “borderline treasonous”.
“This is no longer about embarrassment,” Christys said. “This is about reckless judgement at the very top of government.”
Growing unrest inside the ruling party
The GB News segment also highlighted what Christys described as quiet but growing rebellion within the governing party, reportedly involving senior figures including Angela Rayner. He claimed MPs are increasingly alarmed that the Mandelson–Epstein scandal could drag the entire government down.
Commentators on the programme suggested that scrutiny from Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee is a clear sign that confidence in Starmer’s leadership is rapidly eroding, even among his own ranks.
A legacy “beyond repair”
Christys concluded with a stark warning: regardless of how long Starmer remains in office, his p0litical legacy has already been irreparably damaged.
“In twenty or thirty years’ time,” he said, “when people open the history books, 𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳’s name will not stand alone. It will be forever linked to Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein — a stain that will not wash away.”
The segment ended on a grim note, with GB News making its position clear: this is not just another p0litical storm, but a moment that may define the downfall of a Prime Minister.
