🚨BREAKING: Olly Robbins is set to accuse Keir Starmer tomorrow of pressuring the Foreign Office into approving Peter Mandelson’s appointment

@Christi61144576@DPJHodges Robbins took office on Jan 8th 2025. Mandelson then officially took up his post on Feb 10th 2025. He was only nominated to the role in Dec 2024. That means that was a whole month for this to happen.
🚨 NEW: The Independent's Political Editor, David Maddox, has published messages showing No 10 was told last September that Peter Mandelson may have failed security vetting
One other question. Keir Starmer told Beth Rigby a few weeks he had specifically changed the rules so ambassadors cannot be formally appointed until they’ve cleared DV. But why did he insist on that given he supposedly had no concerns about that part of the vetting till Tuesday.
🚨 BREAKING: Peter Mandelson failed his security vetting for US Ambassador
Keir Starmer had already announced his role so the Foreign Office used a rare power to overrule security officials
