Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has accused Sir Keir Starmer of lying about his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador. The Prime Minister will not face a parliamentary investigation into claims he misled the House of Commons, after ordering his MPs to vote down an inquiry.
Badenoch's Accusation
Mrs Badenoch had accused Sir Keir of misleading MPs by claiming 'full due process' had been followed and 'no pressure existed' in Mandelson's appointment. Earlier, she said there was 'no doubt in my mind that the Prime Minister has lied' about the appointment in a bid to save his skin.
Labour's Response
But some Labour figures branded Mrs Badenoch's call for an investigation a 'political stunt'. Now it's time to have your say in the Daily Mail's latest poll: In yesterday's poll, Mail readers were asked: 'Should people get benefits for anxiety, depression and stress?' Out of more than 12,000 votes, 88 per cent of you said 'no' and 12 per cent said 'yes'.
