Keir Starmer faces Mandelson scandal

The 'Mandelson scandal' has plunged Keir Starmer's government into its deepest crisis yet, with the first Labour MP publicly calling for his resignation.

Testimony from Olly Robbins, who was fired last week, suggests that Downing Street pressured the Foreign Office to overlook security concerns regarding Mandelson's past associations.

Starmer has denied any wrongdoing, insisting that the allegations have been 'put to bed' by the evidence provided.

However, the opposition and some members of his own cabinet remain skeptical of his judgment and the transparency of the appointment process.
