UP
BRITISH PRIME MINISTER KEIR STARMER ADDRESSES PARLIAMENT ON TODAY, FACING CALLS TO RESIGN OVER THE DESPATCH OF SENIOR LABOUR PARTY VETERAN PETER MANDELSON AS AMBASSADOR TO THE U.S., EVEN THOUGH HE HAD FAILED A VETTING PROCESS.
MANDELSON, 72, WAS SACKED IN SEPTEMBER AFTER REVELATIONS ABOUT THE DEPTH OF HIS TIES TO THE LATE U.S. SEX OFFENDER JEFFREY EPSTEIN, AND STARMER APOLOGISED FOR APPOINTING HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
BUT THE GOVERNMENT SAID LAST WEEK IT HAD FOUND OUT THAT MANDELSON HAD FAILED A SECURITY VETTING PROCESS CARRIED OUT BEFORE HE TOOK UP HIS POST IN FEBRUARY 2025, HEAPING PRESSURE ON STARMER, WHOSE POPULARITY HAS SUNK SINCE HE WON A HUGE MAJORITY FOR LABOUR AT A NATIONAL ELECTION IN 2024.
