Starmer Faces Mandelson Vetting Scandal

Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced a hostile session of Prime Minister's Questions as opposition leaders demanded his resignation over the Peter Mandelson vetting scandal.

Sacked civil servant Sir Olly Robbins testified that the Prime Minister exhibited a dismissive attitude toward security protocols that flagged concerns about Mandelson's past.

Cabinet ministers have reportedly begun to distance themselves from the Prime Minister as internal dissent grows over the ethical handling of the appointment.

The fallout has triggered a formal leak inquiry and calls for the reinstatement of senior officials who were removed for raising objections.
