Starmer faces calls to quit after revelation Lord Mandelson failed vetting for US ambassador role
Security concerns about appointing Lord Mandelson as UK’s chief diplomat in Washington were overruled
Sir Keir Starmer is facing calls to resign after it was revealed Lord Mandelson failed security vetting but still became ambassador to the US.
The Prime Minister has been accused of misleading parliament after repeatedly insisting due process was followed in the appointment of the disgraced peer and that he had been vetted in the normal way.
Maybe someone is counting the number of times Keir Starmer has faced calls to quit, but this security vetting malarky does miss the starting point of the whole debacle, the starting point which everyone knows anyway -
How the blue blazes did anyone in government, including Sir Keir Rodney Starmer, how did they ever imagine for one millisecond that Lord Mandelson was a suitable candidate for British ambassador to the United States?
