UK PM Starmer faces scrutiny over Mandelson's failed security vetting

Keir Starmer faces scrutiny over the failed security clearance of his former envoy to the US, Pete Mandelson, and over when he knew about it.
The revelation that Peter Mandelson, Britain's former ambassador to the United States, failed security vetting but was appointed anyway has plunged Prime Minister Keir Starmer into a deepening political crisis. Starmer claims he was not informed of the vetting failure when Mandelson was approved for the post, despite the ambassador's past ties to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and business links with Russia and China.
The scandal has already cost several senior officials their jobs, including Starmer's chief of staff, and opposition politicians accuse the prime minister of misleading Parliament.
With local elections looming and Labour's poll numbers falling, the affair threatens both Starmer's credibility and his authority.
