"Starmer stated it was 'staggering' and 'unforgivable' that he was not informed about Mandelson's failure in the security vetting process, which was revealed by the Guardian."
"Government sources clarified that the civil servants were engaged in a complex process of checks regarding the sensitive data, which delayed informing the prime minister."
"With Starmer's position precarious, leaders of all major political parties have called for his resignation, intensifying the scrutiny on his leadership."
Keir Starmer was reportedly unaware of Peter Mandelson's security vetting failure, which has led to significant political backlash. Senior civil servants, including Antonia Romeo and Catherine Little, were informed last month but did not communicate this to Starmer. The situation has prompted calls for Starmer's resignation from leaders of other political parties. Starmer described the lack of communication as unforgivable and expressed anger over the handling of the matter. The Foreign Office has been blamed for the oversight, with Downing Street claiming they sought the facts but were not informed.
