"I am astonished the Prime Minister can actually look himself in the mirror right now. It is very clear that he told lie after lie after lie about the appointment of Peter Mandelson. He has been dishonest with Parliament and with the country. And Labour MPs, in good conscience, should be looking at whether or not this man should be leading our country."
"The Prime Minister told us that he was lied to by Peter Mandelson. We now find out, in reporting in The Times, that he didn't even speak to Peter Mandelson before appointing him. The Prime Minister is changing his story over and over again."
Sir Keir Starmer is under significant political pressure following his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as UK ambassador to Washington. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has called for an ethics investigation, accusing the Prime Minister of failing to adequately address concerns about the appointment. Despite Starmer's apology during a Northern Ireland visit, criticism has intensified from both the Conservatives and Reform UK. Conservative officials have requested an investigation into a 147-page dossier released on Wednesday. Badenoch has accused Starmer of dishonesty and lying repeatedly about the appointment, claiming he misled Parliament and the country. Sir James Cleverly stated the Prime Minister changed his story, initially claiming he was lied to by Mandelson, but reporting revealed Starmer never spoke to Mandelson before the appointment.
