Starmer Out But Not Quite Yet

Inadvertently misleading Parliament sure is a weaselly way of saying that you accidentally lied but whatever he wants to call it, Prime Minister  Keir Starmer is looking as shaky as a jelly on a trampoline.
Just in case you missed it, in December 2024, Starmer announced that he was appointing Peter Mandelson as the ambassador to the US.
In July 2025, journalists reveal documents from the Trumpstein files which show a very close relationship with Mandleson and the pedophile and two months later Mandelson is sacked, the third time he has been sacked from Government in his career.
In February 20206, Mandelson is arrested by Police for passing on UK Government secret information to Epstein, misconduct in public office,  and politicians began asking Starmer some awkward questions about the vetting process, of which the Prime Minister stated was carried out fully and completely.
In the last week it has been revealed that Mandelson failed the security vetting process but it was over-ruled by the Foreign Office without Downing Street’s knowledge and today Starmer said that he had not known Mandelson had failed the vetting process until two days ago but may had 'Inadvertently misled Parliament over the vetting'.
Firstly, that appointing someone who had already been sacked twice previously is hard to defend but then not being told that the person you are putting forward as the Ambassador failed the Security Checks is stretching credibility unless it was one of those situations where you make it clear that you don't want to know so you can later say nobody told me if it all blows up in your face, like this has. 
As expected the opposition are calling for Starmer's head and despite being a Labour supporter, i agree that his position is untenable now but the only thing that is saving him at the moment is that they want to scapegoat and boot him out in May after the Local Elections which are expected to be a royal shallacking for the Party.
Seems we could be heading for our 7th different Prime Minister in 11 years and we can only hope the next one is a bit more proper Labour Party than Starmer has been.
