Fantastic! This isn’t ‘woke’. It’s a cheap, reliable source of energy - and is *part* of ensuring British energy security.

Amazing how little coverage that the real stories get about this Government

@KateWilton1 Perhaps you should ask Keir and the Labour Party. To think we waited 14 years for this nonsense.

The last thing we need in the UK at the moment is a destabilised government, with a leadership contest right now. It would be utter stupidity. Why do we want to self destruct like this?

@Piotr742499 Truth hurt does it?
Starmer lied to parliament.
Lammy overruled security services.
They should follow their own ‘standards’ and both be gone by morning.

@PippaCrerar Hello!
Keir Starmer (2020, as DPP): “When they made mistakes, I carried the can. I never turn on my staff and you should never turn on your staff. I will carry the can for mistakes of any organisation I lead.”

@PippaCrerar @IsraeliNat Totally unbelievable from No 10.
Starmer had on multiple occasions said Mandleson passed vetting.
So either Starmer was lying about the vetting. Or lying that he had the information.
Either way its misleading both parliament and the public.
He cannot stay

@CPhilpOfficial This isn't going to go down well with the public just before the May elections...

Here’s Starmer saying that Mandelson passed security vetting
Turns out this was a downright lie

Wrong, wrong, wrong. There are no valid ‘religious reasons’ for wearing a niqab. And don’t het me started on the fact it was the woman’s husband who reported him...

People have no idea how broken Britain is.
If an asylum claim is refused officials send a letter saying “You should now leave the UK.”
That’s it.
No follow up. No deportation.
How many asylum seekers leave do you think?

God knows I hold no brief for Robbins, but this won't wash. He was the one who at least raised concerns. Starmer was the one who insisted on the appointment.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer has sacked Foreign Office Permanent Secretary Olly Robbins
English

Boris said on civil service advice that “the rules were followed” but Starmer hounded him nonetheless. This is much more serious so Starmer must take personal responsibility and seek an audience of The King.

So it sounds like The Guardian's extraordinary story that Lord Mandelson failed his security vetting clearance but was overruled by the foreign office is broadly correct - some kind of statement is in the offing It's not clear what that will say, but the line I've had from a few people is that No 10 was completely unaware - including Starmer. Cabinet Office's PET also said to be unaware. Which seems insane Morgan McSweeney was said to be unaware. Mandelson himself was said to be unaware If so it obviously poses big questions for the foreign office and particularly Olly Robbins, the permanent secretary But most of all it poses questions for Starmer and his Number 10 operation. The prime minister repeatedly told the Commons that 'full due process had been followed'. He said that 'there was security vetting by the security services' He told a press conference *explicitly* that 'security vetting... which is an intensive exercise... ***gave him [Mandelson] clearance for the role***'

@MatthewStadlen He said, in Parliament, all proper vetting processes had been followed, when he knew it had not. That is called lying.

As the Labour government becomes more and more despised, it responds be becoming more and more authoritarian
Bernie@Artemisfornow
‼️ WTF? Whilst you were distracted … Labour has just voted through powers to FORCE pension funds to invest your money in UK government ‘priorities’. Meaning Labour effectively takes control of up to 10% of your private pension to invest in bollocks. I call that theft. How dare the government take MY money for their projects. WTF?

On January 28 Mandelson was denied developed vetting clearance for his post as our man in DC
On January 30 the formal Foreign Office offer hiring him said ‘your [developed vetting — DV] security clearance has been confirmed by the Vetting Unit.’
We now know this not to be correct. He had failed DV status.
So who in these two days decided to overrule the vetters?
What possible motive could Robbins have for taking such a huge decision on his own, without reference to No 10 or the cabinet office or even the Foreign Sec (then Lammy)?
Andrew Neil@afneil
Olly Robbins resigns as top civil servant in the Foreign Office. I doubt that will be the end of the matter.

@IslingtonChap What has this government actually delivered, apart from higher taxes?
English
Peter Mandelson is an online right obsession. Nobody in the real world cares about this, they want a government that delivers. Labour ‘sources’ need to grow up.

@IslingtonChap And remember how righteous lying Starmer was in opposition? The guy is a fucking serial liar from Durham party night to mandleson cover ups, he will throw anybody under the bus apart from himself, I only wish we had capital punishment for treason
