Never seen a more blatant lie.
Has Starmer got security vetting? If so, why? He is a traitor.
Keir is furious he got caught out lying yet again…
Complete lies and total b.s
Seriously, using Mandelson to attack Starmer is ridiculous. He has nothing to do with him, Epstein or any other of those degenerate scumbags. I too like to see Starmer to step aside, but not because of these kind of false narratives. He needs to go because of the policies he pushes from Labour. Because of his marxist mindeset, his incompentence in regard to migration, culture and more. Those are real things, real arguments. This? Because of this Mandelson crap? No. BE REAL.
He didn't need to be told, he already knew.
He appointed Lammy, Lammy appointed the Foreign Office ( and got sacked from the position, for what? incompetence? ). Buck stops with Starmer, he knew or didn't know, either way his choices are to blame. He won't scapegoat his way out of it with the voting public this time.
Keir Starmer is on the payroll of Israel just like the entire political fraternity in UK except the few sincere politicians
L I A R
HE DIDN'T ( THINK ) OF ( CHECKING ) IF HE had been PROPERLY CLEARED , YEAH RIGHT
its always someone else's fault with this party
BBC bollocks
Starmer didn't need to be told that Mandelson had associated with Epstein and had resigned from cabinet twice over corruption
He must think the whole country is full of simpletons
He knew
Yeah, nobody believes you.
Wrong thing to say, he's supposed to be the guy in charge. Dumping on subordinates leaves a nasty taste, and it also indicates that maybe he's not in control.
This man is ridiculous. Mandelsons nefarious failures of character in the various posts he held & lost in previous goverment ministries is on record. As the prime minister the responsibility stops with his judgment.He failed.
More lies the bull poo 💩 just falls effortlessly out of his mouth 😂
He should have known himself, as PM, its up to him to know what is going on, if he doesn’t, then he should not be in Office?
He's a bigger idiot than I thought
Look at his nose growing
He's lying and you're colluding with him.
Starmer doing what a slimy politician does best, passing the buck so a subordinate gets axed 😂
BBC ARE COVERING FOR THE IDIOT .. BOTH THE BBC AND STAMMER SHOULD RESIGN AND CLOSE DOWN
Its just lie after lie.
BBC DISGRACEFUL JOURNALISM AND PROPERGANDA 😢😢
Starmer is a liar, it's the only truth of the whole matter.
Liar.
He knew Mandelson had been TWICE dismissed from government for misconduct and didn't bother to check personally that he had passed vetting before appointing him to a very high profile and prestigious role. Nobody lied to Starmer, but Starmer is almost certainly lying to the country.
So right guy acted as a industrial spy against the country…( just to making sure, that is the one that selled VIP information to Epstein? Right?)
He's furious so are we for the damage he's done to this country.
Resign now and call a general election
Keir starmer is a liar
All options should lead to him being GONE!!!
He's either a liar, incompetent or an incompetent liar!!!
Take your pick!
His rating tells anybody who cares to look just how hated he is by just about everyone this country and many others in many other countries. He is a pathological lier at best and an utter incompetent imbecile at worst. Either way he needs to be kicked out on his ear, like right now.
He knew, cover up Keir is at it again
He doesnt look furious, or even sound it.
Absolute Bollox. I do NOT accept his lies whatsoever.
Mandelson was known about in the 1990s
He is on the R.A.I.N.S list.
They knew the dark lord had very dark interests.
Must think we're donkeys
Has anyone noticed except for independent BBC 99.98% of Social Media is owned and run by Starmers deadly foes
If he was called pinnochio his nose would be 6 ft long
