Sir Keir Starmer is going through a PMQs grilling after MPs voted towards a sleaze probe. The Prime Minister won’t face a parliamentary investigation into claims he misled Parliament over the appointment of Lord Peter Mandelson as US ambassador. MPs rejected a bid by the Tories to refer Sir Keir to the Commons Privileges Committee by 335 to 223 after Labour MPs have been ordered to oppose the transfer.
Conservative chief Kemi Badenoch had accused Sir Keir of deceptive the Commons by claiming “full due process” had been adopted and “no pressure existed”. Sir Keir has constantly denied deceptive the House, whereas Downing Street hit out at a “desperate political stunt” by the Tories.
