@SophyRidgeSky However...for direct appointments by ministers their own offices commission the vetting. Results are sent to FCDO who inform ministers of result but not detail. Robbins said in Nov he did that: Informed CabSec Wormwald (who sat next to him & confirmed). That IS telling No10 !

@SophyRidgeSky DA has that a bit wrong... Appointments can be made before vetting but are 'subject to' vetting which is completed between being appointed and actually starting. Upon failing the appointment is withdrawn. However that's civil service led appointments Q: Olly Robbins & Wormwald

Why did Gvt announce Mandelson got the job before doing the vetting? DA:we inherited the process from previous Gvt’s…appointments could be made ahead of developed vetting SR ‘Could' feels an important word DA: The process in retrospect was inadequate

@BethRigby The more interesting part is why you and @bbclaurak are deliberately ignoring parts of and misrepresenting other parts of a simple process... You are clearly trying to find a way out for Starmer...but why? Could it be Israel has infiltrated UK Gov at highest echelons? #democracy

@BethRigby No it doesn't... It just says there is nothing stopping civil servants from telling ministers. In Nov FCDO select committee Robbins confirmed he told No10 Specifically Chris Wormwald (his boss, can sec and sec to PMs office Robbins COULD have told No10....& he did!

NEW: Here the govt is challenge what allies of Olly Robbins’ have told me, that he didn’t do anything wrong & was prevented by law from telling ministers Mandelson has failed vetting. This doc comes after No 10’s Friday night’s drop of the Tues evening meeting in which the PM was told the ‘recommendation from vetting officer had been DV should not be granted to Mandelson’, as No 10 attempts to shape the narrative ahead of PM’s crucial HoC appearance. Allies of Robbins tells me he feels aggrieved and is expected to make case he didn’t do anything wrong & thought doing his job by trying to mitigate risks highlighted in vetting report around Mandelson biz interests. PM already knew of Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein when his appointment was announced back in December 2025 before the DV process

@Baddiel Why would anybody want to kill a person just because they are Jewish? It's happened throughout history. But why? Some Israeli Gov/Military people maybe but how does the worshipper at a local synagogue in UK link to that? I don't get it

Confused as to why politicians say, on another attempted arson attack on a Jewish building, “these terrorists are trying to divide us - and will not succeed etc etc.” Are they? I’d say that diviseness is not the object. I’d say it’s trying to kill Jews.

@paulmasonnews So the lying about being told pales into insignificance compared to Mossad infiltration of our national Government decision-making mechanism - and that would seem to include @Keir_Starmer himself. This is MUCH worse that just the lying about being told...possible high treason!

@paulmasonnews Just dealing with facts he lied he wasn't told. Olly Robbins confirmed he told No10 (Chris Wormwald) in Nov Select Committee But last week Senator Wentworth of Nebraska layed out the links between Mandelson, Epstein, China, Putin and Trump but also Israeli Secret Service V bad!

The last media attempt to hound Starmer from office backfired and so will this one. People can see Mandelson was dodgy and the victims are owed a full inquiry. They can also see off-the-scale bias and click-farming by self-aggrandising lobby journalists paid more than the PM

. @BBCNews @SkyNews @itvnews @LBCNews @thetimes @BBC_Analysis Has the media forgotten about the @PostOffice scandal...AGAIN? Do Paula Vennels, Alice Perkins (Straw), Mike Young & Gareth Jenkins, et al. sit in a jail cell yet?

@afneil @bbclaurak @BBCNews @SkyNews Yes. Check out the FCDO select committee hearing in Nov 25... Both Olly Robbins and Golum...sorry I meant to say Chris Wormald... where they clearly state PM and No 10 WAS made aware Both Olly & Chris have now gone, covered in bus tyremarks...

The claim that nobody at the heart of government — ie close to Starmer — knew Mandelson had flunked his security vetting is unravelling at a rate of knots. Starmer’s head of comms was alerted by the media last September. Sources tell me multiple folks in the Cabinet Office (where the UK Security Vetting unit is based) had known for quite some time. Cat Little, Cabinet Office Permanent Secretary, even had a copy of the UK Sec Vet January 2025 document concluding Mandelson was unfit to be US ambassador. She informed the new cabinet secretary Antonia Romeo. Soon there were about a dozen lawyers and officials crawling all over it. Such matters don’t stay secret for long in the upper echelons of Whitehall. But it seems the PM was still in the dark … until last Tuesday. Mmmmmm

. @BBCNews @SkyNews @itvnews @LBCNews @GBNEWS @r4politics Given Epstein's links to Israeli secret service, Trump, Putin, China, India and Mandelson have news outlets explored whether @Keir_Starmer is being brought down by Israel to obtain regime change here? Or just led by nose?

I've informed Police and joined Neighbourhood watch

E @EssexPoliceUK @Essex_Echo I've just had a guy knock on my door. When I got to the door he was looking through my side gate. When I answered he said he was from WD Property Maintenance and did I want my shed painting? I've just moved into my property

centre-parted sandy/fairy hair with a square face shape.

and could only see Harrow and Kent based companies. Google shows one in Rayleigh and Maldon. I'm now concerned for our safety and security of our property. Have you come across this elsewhere in the area? The man was short, stocky, wore a dark blue WD polo shirt and had

(47 Huntingdon Road) and everything needs doing - except the painting of the shed! I think he was scoping my home for a break-in. I had a discarded sink pinched from my driveway about a month ago. He didn't seem to knock on other doors after. I looked up WD Property Maintenance

. @BBCNews @SkyNews @itvnews @LBC @GBNEWS @euronews @r4politics @thetimes @Telegraph @DailyMail @TheSun When people such as Lord Robertson refer to red dangers from Russia why don't "journalists" drill down on exactly how and why such a risk would result in invasion of UK...?

@campbellclaret By 'normal president' do you mean elected by the American people...? People have the democratic freedom to make bad choices. That's the drawback of democracy (your view of Brexit vote for example). The @bbc should report factually, not decide our (their) opinions for us... No?

True. But its domestic coverage is also excessively impacted - maligned indeed, as in made more malignant, by your old newspaper world, (takes its agenda from it) Trump (covers as though he were a normal president, and way too slavish to his agenda) and ideologues (like Gibb)

@UKLabour Hang on...the volatile share prices must mean bankers acting on behalf of @UKParliament must have made a fortune...meaning Gov can afford to help out by temp reduction of duty..

In the face of global instability, Labour is acting to protect British people from the cost of living.

@Kevin_Maguire Should it? With chipped passports?

You wanted out of Europe and voted for Brexit which creates longer airport queues for passport stamping. Just saying...

@BBCNews @itvnews @SkyNews @gmb @lbc @GBNEWS @BBCr4today @UKLabour @reformparty_uk @Conservatives @LibDems The Gorton & Denton by-election victory for @TheGreenParty sends a huge message to politicians: CLEAN UP OUR WATER! #bbc #SkyNews #GMB
