@spectator It makes no sense in having an independent vetting service if the result is only taken as a recommendation and can be ignored. That seems ridiculous.

Sir Olly Robbins has only been giving evidence to the foreign affairs committee for 20 minutes, and already he has made clear that he is not going to allow Keir Starmer to shape the narrative around Peter Mandelson’s vetting. The former permanent under-secretary at the Foreign Office told MPs within minutes of starting his session that when he started the job, ‘I walked into a situation in which there was already a very, very strong expectation’ that Mandelson needed to be in America ‘as soon as possible’. ✍️ Isabel Hardman Article | spectator.com/article/olly-r…

@MichelleDewbs @HackneyAbbott The question now is who told him to select Mandleson and to not ask any questions?

Today, I have found myself in total agreement with @HackneyAbbott Fair play to her, for asking one of the most sensible questions of the day 👏🏻

@elonmusk Star trek has the answer!!!!

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@BBCBreaking Yes. It's quite unbelievable.

"That I wasn't told that Peter Mandelson had failed security vetting when he was appointed is staggering," UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Follow live: bbc.in/4esAIHE

@elonmusk There will be no one with money to buy them. The tax burden will fall on even fewer people who will become the rich elite. With total power they will eventually exterminate the rest.

@AphraBrandreth @CommonsForeign So of all the people for the job why pic mandleson? Starmer needs to explain.

At a @CommonsForeign session in November 2025, I directly asked Sir Oliver Robbins whether the FCDO had a different view of who should be recommended for the posting of US Ambassador. His response? "It was clear that the Prime Minister wanted to make this appointment himself."

@KemiBadenoch Perhaps you should ask yourself who he is replacing them with?

Working for Keir Starmer is now one of the most dangerous occupations in the UK. There are few known survivors. Olly Robbins is just the latest fatality. All sacrificed to divert from a reality we can all see -our country deserves so much better than this man as our Prime Minister.

@JuliaHB1 Perhaps we should check the vetting of the PM. He seems to have some very unsavoury friends.

This Mandelson vetting story isn't just about the Prime Minister's judgement or honesty. This is about a HUGE national security breach. The UK ambassador to the US undergoes high level vetting because he/she has access to our most vital defence, security and economic state secrets. These state secrets were handed to Mandelson, a man who was a proven liar with dodgy foreign billionaire friends who is now under police investigation over claims he leaked confidential govt information to one of those friends. Keir Starmer put our national security at risk. That's not just a resigning matter, it should be a criminal matter.

@pritipatel David lammy was sat behind the PM in the house nodding when PM said all checks were done. Another liar.

@pritipatel Why is David Lammy not in the frame as the minister in charge of Foreign Office

STARMER must RESIGN.  He appointed Mandelson as US Ambassador & has been caught out misleading the public & parliament. This scandal is on him.  There's no-one left to throw under the bus. Starmer has run out of excuses & he has lied. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/1…

@BBCBreaking So who was the minister in charge of the foreign Office and why are they not being asked why it took so long for the PM to know. I don't think failed vetting is somthing that slips your mind.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer did not mislead Parliament over Lord Mandelson vetting and will not quit, senior minister tells BBC - follow live bbc.in/3Oxht57

@spectator Then he should resign because of the sheer incompetence that has been shown.

Spin, spin, spin! That furious sound you can hear out of Westminster is Labour’s apparatchiks doing their damnedest to dig Keir Starmer out of yet another hole. The Prime Minister is accused of misleading parliament over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as Our Man in Washington. The Labour grandee failed his developed vetting clearance in late 2024 to become the US ambassador – but the decision was then overruled by the Foreign Office to ensure he could take up his post. ✍️ Steerpike Article | spectator.com/article/three-…

@RachelReevesMP No. You are raising tax on far more and putting them out of work and their children into poverty.

Today we are lifting 450,000 children out of poverty with the end of the two-child limit.  This Labour Government is achieving the biggest reduction in child poverty over a Parliament since records began.  Change promised. Change delivered.

@Reuters Are those civilians also jihadists?

@ZackPolanski You have hijacked a party of kind gullible hearts with you bitter devicive racist politics

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

@BBCBreakfast Now that is a dog whistle

@GBNEWS All the bs about missiles when they could literally walk one up the beach at Dover.

'Could Iran threaten European capitals? Yes! Could they do so with accuracy? Probably not...' Former Royal Naval Officer James Gater discusses the level of risk posed by Iran amid reports of missiles able to reach London, and whether Britain can defend from attack.

@piersmorgan Ironically I've seen many a video where you have used the accusation on people to shut down debate. For pointing out strangle coincidental situation where there would seem to be over representations from a particular minority.

New rule for the X community: if you call me antisemitic, you’re now getting blocked. Instantly, permanently, and with no appeals process. I’m having a clear-out of malicious morons who disingenuously weaponise that word to silence legitimate scrutiny/criticism of Israel’s govt.

@HansChr52239198 @KingBobIIV the prejudicial stereotyping of Muslims as a collective group with set characteristics in order to stir up hatred against them”. The holy book they religiously follow is the stereotype to which they allude and can in no way be prejudicial.

@KingBobIIV the UK Muslim Brotherhood is doing this Tzar role in order to gather Government owned research from the field in how to counter efforts of UK’s majority Kuffar to prevent our impending doom under Islam Supremacy while we still have the numbers to defend ourselves and expel Islam

@humanitywipe @conspiracyb0t So is God, the all omnipotent master of the universe, also like landlord of the lavant. Does he have any condos in key west.
