YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

James O'Brien is joined by Calum Miller, Lib Dem MP for Bicester and Woodstock since 2024.

Calum identifies 'three scenarios' that he thinks could have happened after Peter Mandelson's failed vetting, and talks James through his cases.

Security officials initially denied Lord Mandelson clearance, but Foreign Office officials took the rare step of overruling the recommendation.

The Prime Minister was not aware that the former Labour grandee was granted developed vetting against the advice of UK Security Vetting until earlier this week, the Government has said.

He has instructed officials to establish the facts about why vetting was granted, and the Foreign Office earlier said it is “working urgently” to comply.
