Judgement Day: Starmer’s Mandelson statement ends in jeers | The Daily T

It’s Keir Starmer’s darkest day in office. In a statement to the Commons this afternoon, the Prime Minister apologised again for appointing Peter Mandelson as US ambassador, but stopped short of admitting to misleading the House about the vetting process. Despite the Prime Minister laying the blame squarely at the door of the Foreign Office for not telling him Mandelson’s security vetting had been rejected, on today’s Daily T podcast Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley say that the whole sorry saga is the final nail in the coffin for Starmer’s premiership, and he must resign. Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim look ahead to ousted Foreign Office civil servant Olly Robbins’s appearance before the Select Committee tomorrow, where they expect him to say that he couldn’t act on the results of Mandelson’s vetting as the Government had already announced his appointment. 🚨 LIVE EVENT ALERT: The Daily T will be going on the road to London (April 27), Cardiff (April 28), Warwick (April 29) and Worthing (April 30) ahead of May’s critical local elections, where you'll have a chance to put your questions to Camilla and Tim. 🎟️ Tickets are limited, book yours now!: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/0/live-event-the-daily-t-on-the-road/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_youtube_daily-t-on-the-road/ You, 14:56 ► Subscribe to The Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/customer/subscription/store/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_youtube_dailytpodcast ► Get the latest headlines: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_youtube_dailytpodcast ► Sign up to The Telegraph's free new daily newsletter, From the Editor, bringing you the latest news, features and analysis from the Telegraph newsroom: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/customer/secure/newsletter/from-the-editor/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_youtube_dailytpodcast KeirStarmer, PeterMandelson, UKPolitics, PoliticalScandal, PrimeMinister, ForeignOffice, GovernmentCrisis, ResignationCalls, Westminster, UKNews, PoliticsToday, LeadershipCrisis, BreakingPolitics, Commons, SelectCommittee
