"Looking at this extraordinary Guardian story that the Prime Minister lied to the country and to parliament repeatedly about the appointment of the most important diplomat that this country can put in place because he said that security vetting had given, and I quote, 'clearance for the role.'"
"That I wasn't told that Peter Mandelson had failed security vetting when he was appointed is staggering. Not only was I not told, no minister was told, and I'm absolutely furious about that."
A Conservative MP has launched a petition demanding Sir Keir Starmer's resignation due to alleged misinformation regarding Peter Mandelson's security vetting for the US ambassador role. The petition claims the Prime Minister misled the public about the vetting process. Starmer expressed outrage at not being informed of Mandelson's failed vetting, calling it 'unforgivable' and 'staggering.' He emphasized that neither he nor any minister was aware of the situation while assuring Parliament that due process was followed, intensifying the political controversy surrounding the appointment.
