Farage 'does not accept' Starmer's version of events following Sir Olly's evidence
"He may not have been told by Olly Robbins specifically about the failure of vetting, but the other things that Robbins said were damning, namely that the appointment was made before vetting had been carried out and against the advice of the cabinet secretary, and that there had been a number of red flags all the way along the road."
"So no, I don't accept this at all. Even without the official vetting, it was pretty obvious that Mandelson was the wrong candidate for America."
Nigel Farage challenges Sir Keir Starmer's narrative regarding Lord Peter Mandelson's appointment, referencing serious allegations from Sir Olly Robbins. Farage claims Robbins' testimony contradicts Downing Street's account and raises concerns about the vetting process. He emphasizes that the appointment occurred before proper vetting and against the cabinet secretary's advice. This situation intensifies scrutiny on the Prime Minister and adds political pressure on Starmer. Meanwhile, Lee Anderson faced expulsion from the House of Commons for accusing Starmer of lying during a debate about Mandelson's appointment.
