Mandelson failed security vetting. Starmer, once again, says he had no idea. “It either makes him look like a gullible fool or he’s lying”. “That trick, that excuse that I was misled, works once. There's diminishing returns every time you invoke it”. Jon Sopel Lewis Goodall

🚨SKY NEWS PUTS STARMER ON THE SPOT AND CALLS OUT HIS BS: “WE DON’T BELIEVE YOU ON MANDELSON VETTING SCANDAL!” 🤯 Starmer’s Furious Act Over Mandelson Vetting Scandal Falls Flat 🤨 Sky News put Keir Starmer firmly on the spot over the Peter Mandelson ambassador scandal. Prime Minister once again doing his best “I’m innocent and I’m FURIOUS” impression over the Mandelson scandal. Yeah course you are Keir, we believe you 🙃 The man is out here claiming it’s “unforgivable” and “staggering” that he wasn’t told Mandelson failed security vetting. Oh please. Does he really believe he’s convincing ANYONE that he didn’t know? He’s delusional! Of course he f*cking knew! Sky News basically said it to his face: “Are you really expecting us to believe that a senior civil servant, off his own back, without any sort of direction about the importance of Peter Mandelson being Ambassador, unilaterally overruled security vetting to approve a political appointment?” Starmer’s nervous robot response? Just repeated the same line like a broken record: “I was not told that he had failed security vetting. No minister or No 10 was told…” The reporter put it to him that he’s been prime minister for 2 years now and it sounds like he doesn’t have a grip on his government, but the robot just kept glitching, repeating the exact same talking points. He knows he’s lying, we know he’s lying, and he knows we know he’s lying. 🤥

Keir Starmer appointed Peter Mandelson to our most sensitive diplomatic post, despite the fact that Mandelson failed security vetting. He says that nobody told him. If that's true, then he's lost control of his Government. If it isn't, then he's lying. It's as simple as that.

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.

In February, Keir Starmer said "There was then I should add, security vetting carried out independently by the security services, which is an intensive exercise that gave him clearance for the role, and you have to go through that before you take up the post." Today, he's saying that he didn't know that Peter Mandelson failed it.

Bob Odenkirk says he once saw Chris Farley sober after repeated rehab stints and thought, “He’s gonna fucking make it” “I did see him at a party once in Hollywood not drunk and not drinking... I was like, ‘Chris, you’re not drinking?’ ‘Nope.’ And he meant it” “He was strong and he looked great... I was like, ‘Holy sh*t, this is f*cking great. He’s gonna f*cking make it’” “He’d been to rehab, you know, seven times by then... that was the only time I ever saw the look in his eye, but at least I saw it once and it gave me hope”

This MUST be the end….Keir Starmer, in fact the whole government should not be able to survive this. Not content with blatantly lying when they claimed they did not know the extent of Mandelsons relationship with Epstein, it now turns out that he FAILED the security vetting. The government claim that Starmer and in fact NO ministers were aware that he failed the vetting and that some mysterious “officials” in the foreign office overruled the failed vetting and passed him anyway. How believeable is that….not even slightly. Would some civil servant or lowly MP sign off on the most important diplomatic appointment in the country without even consulting their political bosses….and if they did it means our so called elected representatives are not in charge and not running the country. Either way they MUST GO. Either Starmer or the foreign secretary at the time of both must resign tomorrow.
