Starmer Faces Mandelson Vetting Scandal

The burgeoning scandal centers on allegations that the Prime Minister's office was aware of Mandelson's failed security clearance but chose to override the decision.

Sacked Foreign Office head Olly Robbins is expected to provide testimony that could further implicate senior Downing Street officials.

Opposition MPs have accused Starmer of breaking the Ministerial Code by withholding information from Parliament.

The controversy has deepened with reports linking Mandelson's lobbying firm to entities with ties to the Chinese military.
