Even now we are being misled about what was known about Mandelson - in this case the Developed Vetting (DV) process. I have been at both ends so to speak in the past (should not say that but it is irrelevant now). If the ‘reporter’ believe that detail uncovered are not shared with people making the Y/N decision are not shared then I have 3 (not 1, 3 folks) bridges to sell you over the Forth.

How much did Starmer really know about Mandelson’s ties to Epstein?

No 10 is intense huge pressure to reveal exactly how the former peer was vetted for his job as US ambassador

@Wen I'm pretty sure lying during the vetting process would be a big massive honking red fucking flag based on character quite apart from whatever was being lied about. But then I don't move in the corridors of power..... It strikes me as they're now attempting to shift blame to the vetting processes.
