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 Indeed. Sounds more like undeveloped vetting, if there were such a thing.
