      I agree with the Guardian writer about this here – civil servants work under instruction. If the civil servant though Starmer wouldn’t want to ask questions then they’ll have found a way of making the appointment happen quietly. If the Labour PM had been Blair or Brown, they’d have had a control centre who would’ve made sure questions were asked and the civil servant would’ve respected that. Fact is, Starmer time and time again finds himself surprised about things happening in his party and his government. It’s a personality trait of the PM which the civil service work around.

      If he’d have asked about Mandelson, or even spoke to Mandelson himself and asked a couple of questions, this could’ve been avoided. But he didn’t, because he just doesn’t take that level of interest.

      This pantomime is utterly risible. It’s very unlikely that the civil servants involved didn’t do their jobs.

      That aside you don’t even need a thorough vetting process to know mandleson was dodgy. He’d been scandal ridden throughout the Blair era and photos of him with Epstein were widespread

      It doesn’t really matter. Starmer is toast after May’s elections anyway.

      Starmer misled parliament and appointed a close friend of the world’s worst pedophile to a high ranking government post after he had failed to acquire even the basic level of security clearance needed to hold any government post

      Starmer must resign, he cannot sit on his throne smug constantly saying „What about the Tories,“ „What about Boris.“

      Starmer said the buck stops with him yet now he’s trying to claim it’s everyone else’s fault but his over his lies, over evidence going missing, over the economy going under, over his constant U-Turns, election promises being broken and questionable defence decisions which has only days ago seen him refute a report by a high ranking NATO official

      Media continuing to talk about this to affect outcome of local elections.

      We are being manipulated.

    6. Anyone calling for Starmer’s head clearly has ulterior motives as he has obviously done a reasonable (if of course imperfect) job so far, a very welcome change to the serried ranks of disasters preceding him, and likely alternative to him if he were to resign.

      All of this media just after a commendable handling of the Iran crisis and in the wake of local elections is obvious and shameful politicking.
