Keir Starmer

Sir Keir and the top official at the Foreign Office at the time are expected to face questions from MPs next week.

Sir Keir Starmer has said further details of the plan will come after a meeting in London next week.

It's emerged that Lord Mandelson did not pass inital security vetting checks ahead of taking up the role of ambassador to the United States.

Political correspondent Harry Farley reports as new information emerges about the former US ambassador's appointment to the role.

Sir Olly Robbins has effectively been sacked after his department did not inform the prime minister that Lord Mandelson had failed security vetting.

The prime minister is believed to be absolutely furious over the handling of Lord Mandelson's vetting, Chris Mason writes.

A decision to go against the recommendation of the vetting agency was taken by officials in the Foreign Office, spokesperson says.
