Sir Olly Robbins' testimony raises stark questions about UK security vetting system

Sir Olly Robbins faced parliamentary scrutiny over his decision to grant Peter Mandelson developed vetting clearance despite UK Security Vetting (UKSV) recommending denial in red. Robbins relied on oral briefing rather than viewing the actual vetting file, describing the case as "borderline". Former senior civil servants defended Robbins, but the testimony raised questions about the opacity of the vetting system and why risks potentially related to Jeffrey Epstein were apparently missed.

Case warned Starmer to complete Mandelson vetting before appointment, documents reveal

Documents show then-cabinet secretary Simon Case advised Keir Starmer to complete security vetting for Peter Mandelson before announcing his US ambassador appointment.

Mandelson was sacked in September after disclosures about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Starmer will address MPs on Monday, stating he was not told about the vetting failure and that this was 'unforgivable'.
