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. The Cabinet Office released files revealing Mandelson was offered highly classified briefings before his vetting was finalized on 29 January, despite failing initial vetting by UK Security Vetting - a decision overruled by the Foreign Office. 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'.
