MPs Vote Against Starmer Inquiry
The House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee is hearing evidence from former Number 10 Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney this morning. McSweeney resigned from his position in February following his role in the appointment of Mr. Mandelson. A vote for an inquiry is expected today, which could impact the political future of Keir Starmer. The proceedings follow discussions regarding whether the appointment was a political stunt ahead of local elections on May 7th. The UK House of Commons decided via a vote on April 28 not to dismiss the investigation into whether Prime Minister Keir Starmer misled Parliament regarding the appointment of Lord Mandelson as the UK Ambassador to the United States. The decision follows parliamentary scrutiny over the appointment process.
