It's a little difficult (lol) to know what starmer hopes when he whines "it ‘beggars belief’ he wasn’t told about Mandelson vetting failure; that seems too feeble a straw to grasp
This situation is only going to get worse once Mandelson gets charged by police and heads to court. The expected charge 'misconduct in public office' is also pretty serious:
Misconduct in public office is a serious common law offence in the UK, carrying a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
