To not believe Keir Starmer

I'm sick of Keir Starmer's dodging over Peter Mandelson. He said he wasn't aware PM hadn't passed security vetting. He's been asked again and again about this. The knives are definitely out for him and I would be glad to see the back of him.

I think he will cling on. If he really didn't know he hasn't got his finger on the pulse. I agree neither answer is a good outcome.

He’s told so many lies he’s at the point he can’t remember what he’s said, when and to whom. He’s either lying, or didn’t ask the explicit question ‘has he cleared security vetting’. Neither is a good outcome. I dread to think what other security vetting he’s ignored, or forgotten to ask about.
