Starmer still either a lying liar or incompetent...

That story has been updated with more details - particularly this: "The Guardian understands that Starmer – who insiders said was furious – first learned that Mandelson had failed security vetting on Tuesday this week, while Lammy learned about it when the Guardian broke the story two days later." Starmer was so furious that the foreign secretary of the time, someone he still works closely with, wass not asked anything..? Not given the heads up..? #UKPol
