mudslinging

This week’s mudslinging comes courtesy of the initial House documents—from the Epstein estate, or those the Justice Department didn’t mind parting with.

"It's not been our finest 24 hours in government," one senior figure in government acknowledged to me, after mudslinging one way and another, some in public, plenty more in private.

Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook dismissed the allegations, saying it was "yet more mudslinging" from the Conservatives "in a desperate bid to stay relevant as a party".

She dismissed Tory criticism as "desperate mudslinging".
