A crunch week for Sir Keir Starmer is set to continue on Monday as he updates the House of Commons on the latest revelations about Lord Mandelson’s appointment.
No 10 on Friday night released a readout of a meeting between the Prime Minister and senior civil servants that appeared to corroborate that Sir Keir only found out on Tuesday that Lord Mandelson was cleared for his role as Britain’s representative in Washington against the advice of security officials.
