Opposition leaders are calling on Sir Keir Starmer to resign as Prime Minister, after it was revealed Lord Mandelson failed security vetting before he became Ambassador to the US. The Prime Minister repeatedly told MPs and reporters that the process had been followed - before it became clear last night that officials actually overruled that process to appoint Mandelson. We ask Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, Darren Jones when he knew that Mandelson had failed the vetting.
