Davey: Starmer must go if he lied to Parliament

Responding to the Guardian’s revelation that Peter Mandelson failed vetting and the Foreign Office overruled officials to appoint him to the ambassadorship regardless, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:  

“Keir Starmer had already made a catastrophic error of judgement. Now it looks as though he has also misled Parliament and lied to the British public. If that is the case, he must go.

“Labour came into Government on a promise to clean up politics. Instead we’re seeing the same old sleaze, scandal and cover-ups as we did under the Conservatives.”
