Keir Starmer is to face another bruising day in British Parliament over the scandal surrounding Peter Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador.

Olly Robbins will have a chance to respond to the British Prime Minister, who blamed the sacked senior civil servant for “deliberately” keeping him in the dark over Mandelson’s failure to pass security vetting checks before taking the Washington DC posting.
