Starmer faces British Parliament showdown over Mandelson vetting scandal

Prime Minister Keir Starmer told MPs the proper process had been followed in appointing Mandelson (PA)

Keir Starmer will battle to save his job in British Parliament on Monday by setting out further details of the “unforgivable” errorby officials in not telling him Peter Mandelson had failed his security vetting.

In a Commons statement, Mr Starmer will be faced with allegations he misled Parliament after telling MPs the proper process had been followed in appointing Mandelson to the post of ambassador to the US, insisting he had been kept in the dark about the peer being red-flagged by security experts.
