The Mandelson scandal has resurfaced in the United Kingdom, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer is in the line of fire again.

This time, it’s because he appointed Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the United States – even though he failed the government’s security clearance.

Starmer says he did not know. But the opposition isn’t convinced.

Denis MacShane – Former UK Foreign Office Minister of State and Labour MP
