PM was not aware Lord Mandelson failed security vetting for US ambassador job until this week, UK government says bbc.in/41D0z8g

@Peston Nobody believes this

Downing Street says neither the PM or the then foreign secretary David Lammy knew that Peter Mandelson failed security vetting to be US ambassador till a few days ago. Sources say they are incandescent that they were not told. The clear implication is that the permanent under secretary at the foreign office Olly Robbins over-ruled the vetting recommendation and never told ministers. If that is right, and no official is denying that, it is impossible to see how he keeps his job

@PippaCrerar If anyone believes them I’ve got some magic beans to sell you

BREAKING: Downing Street says that neither Keir Starmer nor David Lammy knew that Peter Mandelson failed his security vetting - and lays blame with Foreign Office official for overruling the decision.

Just an FYI as the BBC clearly don’t feel like mentioning it, the jailed councillor was a Refrom UK councillor who was jailed for domestic abuse. The Greens stepped forward and won 💚

@TiceRichard Vote reform, get a domestic abuser.

@__tommyFR__ @jonnytickle They had doubled the price. Amateur price gauging compared to this World Cup.

@jonnytickle During the Paris Olympics the metro ticket was only 4 euros.

During the 2018 World Cup in Russia, trains were free and included in your match ticket. You could take a 23-hour train from Moscow to Sochi. Sad to see FIFA letting the US get away with this nonsense

@janhopi How could I forget Chris Philp!

I wonder, pound for pound, who the thickest guest they've ever had on Question Time is?

@janhopi Did Liz Truss ever get a game? Joey Barton, Esther McVey?

@rossrobson @NathT563 @TheBarmyArmy Does the umpire not need to call time? The ball can still be live after an unsuccessful appeal.

@NathT563 @TheBarmyArmy Appeal. Turned down. Dead ball.

Club cricket is unmatched 😂
