Sir Keir Starmer faced a grilling in the House of Commons at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday (22 April) amid the ongoing fallout over the vetting of Lord Peter Mandelson.
The prime minister is under intense pressure over his decision to fire Foreign Office chief Sir Olly Robbins over the scandal, after it emerged he did not tell Sir Keir that Lord Mandelson was cleared to take up the top diplomatic post despite security vetting officials recommending against it.
