A as ambassador to the USA. It’s not new, but it seems to be going from bad to worse, especially for the Prime Minister.
Last week it became known that Mandelson failed in the security check process, but the decision was overturned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Peter Mandelson went to Washington.
Starmer said he only found out about the rejection of Mandelson last week and, this Monday, he went to Parliament to try to put everything in order.
The prime minister complains that no one told him anything and the opposition leader says he didn’t ask either.
The secretary general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ended up being fired, but the opposition is not convinced and demands the head of government’s departure.
