Starmer faces Mandelson vetting scandal
The UK government is embroiled in a significant political crisis following revelations that Peter Mandelson failed top-level security vetting before his appointment to Washington.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to address the House of Commons amid mounting calls for his resignation and accusations of violating the Ministerial Code.
The scandal centers on when the Prime Minister was informed of the vetting failure and why the decision was initially overruled by the Foreign Office.
Tensions have further escalated between Number 10 and senior diplomats, including the sacked Sir Olly Robbins, over the handling of the sensitive information.
