Starmer Under Fire Over Mandelson

Starmer apologized to Parliament, admitting the appointment was a mistake but claiming he was not informed of the failed security review by officials.

Opposition MPs have accused the Prime Minister of misleading the House and breaching the ministerial code.

The scandal has led to the stripping of the Foreign Office's power to overrule vetting decisions.

A high-stakes emergency debate is scheduled as allies and critics alike question the stability of Starmer's leadership.
