YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAva and Andy are here to dive into the explosive fallout from Olly Robbins’ appearance before the Foreign Affairs Select Committee this morning, and what it reveals about the controversial appointment of Peter Mandelson as US Ambassador.
Fresh from being sacked, Robbins’ testimony raises serious questions about what Keir Starmer knew, when he knew it, and whether due process was ever really followed. Ava and Andy break down the key moments from the hearing, including the bombshell claim that the Cabinet Office suggested there was no need to vet Mandelson at all.
Was Keir Starmer truly unaware of the extent of the warnings? Why was vetting seemingly conducted after the appointment had already been announced? And what does Robbins’ account suggest about the level of pressure coming from Number 10?
