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..?

This is what Starmer's statement yesterday said about getting answers - "Once the prime minister was informed he immediately instructed officials to establish the facts about why the Developed Vetting was granted, in order to enact plans to update the House of Commons." And noone spoke to Lammy in over two days? No urgency detected here. Every excuse seems to push them further and further down the dangerously incompetent line... #UKPol
