"The Whole Thing Is Rotten!" | Keir Starmer Flies To Paris Amid Mandelson Vetting Cover-Up Row

Sir Keir Starmer said it is “unforgivable” that he was not told Lord Peter Mandelson had failed to pass security vetting for the role of ambassador to the US.

The Prime Minister said he was “absolutely furious” and it was “staggering” that he had not been informed the Foreign Office had overruled the recommendation from specialists in the UK Security Vetting team.

The Foreign Office’s top civil servant, Sir Olly Robbins, was sacked on Thursday night after the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper lost confidence in him over the scandal.

Speaking with former British Army Colonel Simon Diggins and writer Emma Trimble, Talk's Alex Phillips says: "Phones get stolen, messages are wiped, people can't be subpoenaed. Everything's just so convenient!"
