Matthew Scott: I can just about believe that Starmer…
I can just about believe that Starmer wasn't told that Mandelson failed his vetting, but why didn't he ask? Did the FO just lie and say he'd passed when he'd failed, or did they bamboozle the PM with Sir Humphrey style weasel words? Why not just tell the truth to the PM?
