Oh that’s why he’s been so quiet? He’s toast at the GE which could be sooner than expected. If you want reform, vote Reform

NEW: @EdwardJDavey is calling for the Privileges Committee to investigate whether Keir Starmer misled the Commons over Mandelson’s vetting. The same committee forced Boris Johnson to resign as an MP following Partygate. The parallels will be tormenting the PM.

@SteveReedMP Clearly nothing better to do Nigel is in wales doing a zoom call

Coming soon…

@SkyNews Going to Paris to do a zoom call unbelievable

BREAKING: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has arrived in Paris to co-host talks with Emmanuel Macron on reopening the Strait of Hormuz trib.al/Rx0iR33 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

@coyleneil Taxpayers built it

Labour built the NHS. Labour saved the NHS in 1997. Labour is fixing the NHS again today.

@MatthewStadlen So it’s trump’s fault now no it’s not it’s Starmers fault only

Just a reminder that not everyone thought Mandelson’s appointment was a mistake at the time

@Keir_Starmer It has nothing to do with you or the of your cronies

It’s good news that the Strait of Hormuz has now reopened. This must be a long lasting and workable solution, without tolls or restrictions on routes. Today we announced our joint plan with France and other international partners to protect freedom of navigation. We need to see a return to peace and stability, and a permanent ceasefire.

Hey @Kevin_Maguire how’s your ‘forensic’ PM doing?

@Bbmorg He’s the best alright at making himself look so stupid in public the whole world is laughing at him

Starmer is, at best, an ordinary PM, poor on the economy, good for the NHS but great on foreign policy. However his greatest contribution is pissing off nasties like Musk and his nasty hard right followers by not resigning and providing steady continuity and keeping the putrid creatures of chaos away.

@PaulBrandITV @BBCr4today When Starmer stood up in the Commons 3 different times to mandelson had been vetted properly anyone with common sense would have doubled checked the first time before saying it again

Kemi Badenoch accuses Keir Starmer of being a liar. She says there has been “deliberate dishonesty” and “I know that he is lying”. @BBCr4today

💣 The question we’re all asking ourselves this morning is? “Will he do the decent thing and resign”

@russellquirk If this idiot can’t get a vetting process right then how can we trust him to keep our country safe

Why?

@LondonLabour Unless it includes vetting

Labour, with you every step of your day 🌹

@Michaela0w You don’t deserve a vote the state of the country and you don’t know who to vote for

I would like to know if #RestoreBritain supporters will be voting for Reform in the local elections because they don't want any other party to win? I'm still undecided on what to do! 🤷‍♀️

@GBNEWS @studaviesreform What’s chilling he really thinks he’s innocent

🚨BREAKING: Keir Starmer breaks silence on the Peter Mandelson vetting row, saying he is 'absolutely furious' and insisting neither he nor any minister was told Mandelson had failed security vetting, calling it 'unforgivable'. More to follow on GB News...

@BethRigby So many questions but they all have the same answer it wasn’t me it was somebody else’s fault and none of us knew utter nonsense

ANALYSIS: So many questions PM near apoplectic on Friday as he insisted he was not told Peter Mandelson's security vetting had failed.  He insisted, repeatedly, that neither he nor other ministers had been informed about the vetting process and said he would present the full facts to parliament on Monday amid mounting calls for him to resign.  Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the opposition, has accused the PM of lying to save his job.  The stage is then set for an almighty clash - when the prime minister comes to parliament to persuade doubting MPs that he really was kept in the dark and he did not mislead parliament - as his opponents look to finish him off. Key to Starmer's defence on Monday will behe wasn't made aware of the details of Mandelson's vetting.  The central claim from No 10, repeated by the PM's chief secretary Darren Jones this morning, is that Starmer was only made aware on Tuesday night that Lord Mandelson had been granted security clearance against the recommendation of UK security vetting.  Foreign Office has Olly Robbins has been sacked over, as No 10 lays blame at that department's door. I was told the PM had been asking Whitehall questions about vetting for months, given he was being asked to give statements to parliament and this information was not shared. What this suggests is the Foreign Office withheld this information from the PM, which I find simply astonishing and shocking.  Overnight, I've spoken to a couple of former senior civil servants who have told me they find it impossible to believe Robbins would not have flagged this information to the PM and taken the decision to override vetting without consulting or informing any minister.  One former senior mandarin, casting around for a possible explanation, told me "failing" security vetting comes in different grades: "If it's complicated vetting, and the subject lives overseas, it might be that security services can't give a bright green light, but they can come and do the job but can't see top level papers, so the system can bend a bit." But this figure was equally clear that if Lord Mandelson failed vetting, then the explanation from government - that neither the PM nor his advisers, or it emerges the foreign secretary, were told - "makes no sense".  “The very first thing a permanent secretary would do is share that with their political masters," said a former civil servant.  Another told me last night as Robbins was sacked that it was "awful treatment of a very good public servant".  We are yet to hear from Robbins. Chair of the foreign affairs select committee, Emily Thornberry, has asked for the former permanent secretary of the Foreign Office to appear before her committee on Tuesday. The key question for Starmer now is if he misled the House of Commons and is in contempt of parliament… full piece below 👇 #liveblog-body" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">news.sky.com/story/politics…

@PippaCrerar He only had to appoint one ambassador and it was a important one and he got it wrong and now it’s someone else’s fault it’s everybody else’s fault not mine and we are supposed to believe that they are keeping the country safe

NEW: Keir Starmer says it's "staggering" and "unforgiveable" that he wasn't told Peter Mandelson failed security vetting - and that he's "absolutely furious" about it. He'll address MPs on Monday. “That I wasn’t told that Peter Mandelson had failed security vetting when he was appointed is staggering. “That I wasn’t told that he had failed security vetting when I was telling Parliament that due process had been followed is unforgiveable. “Not only was I not told, no minister was told, and I’m absolutely furious about that. “What I intend to do is to go to Parliament on Monday to set out all the relevant facts in true transparency, so Parliament has the full picture.”

@christopherhope @GBNEWS Surely this should have happened when mandelson was sacked

BREAKING Top civil servant Sir Olly Robins has stood down as Foreign Office permanent secretary over the security vetting of Peter Mandelson. It is understood that the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary have lost confidence in him. More now on @GBNEWS.

Stevenage is Broken. Only Reform can fix it 🔨🇬🇧 VOTE REFORM 🗳️💪
