YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Cabinet minister Liz Kendall says Sir Keir Starmer would have cancelled Peter Mandelson's appointment had he known Mandelson had failed vetting.

"The one thing I know about Keir Starmer is that if even at the last minute, the day before the president's inauguration, he had been told that [Mandelson] had not been passed the UK security vetting, he wouldn't have appointed him," she added.

Starmer publicly announced Mandelson's appointment in December 2024, before vetting had been done.
