Lord Mandelsons CROOKED Vetting Scandal -He NEVER HAD Security Clearance

There'll be renewed pressure on Sir Keir Starmer when he sets out a statement to MPs in the Commons to give true transparency over Lord Mandelsons security vetting.

The British Ambassador Scandal is Now Touching Epstein, Starmer Government, and Trump Himself.

MailOnline 21 APR 2026

Mandelson spent nine months as US ambassador before fresh details of his relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein emerged

The PM has said he was staggered to find out last week that civil servants in the Foreign Office withheld information from him before he appointed Mandelson as the UKs ambassador to the US.

Fired civil servant said Starmer told us 'JUST FUxxING APPROVE IT'

Ministers have voiced concerns after explosive testimony from the Foreign Office chief Sir Olly Robbins who was sacked for not telling the PM that Mandelson failed security vetting.

Sir Olly Robbins told MPs Downing Street chased to finalise the posting as US ambassador and was dismissive of the need for any checks by Starmer

The Foreign Affairs Committee also heard claims that Sir Keirs former chief of staff called Sir Olls predecessor insisting Just f***ing approve it.

Opening another damaging flank, Sir Olly revealed that No10 tried to get Sir Keirs spin doctor Matthew Doyle a plum posting as a head of mission abroad.

Lord Doyle later left Government, and has since been stripped of the Labour whip over campaigning for a councillor who had been charged with child sex offences. He denied seeking a diplomatic post today.

The Mandelson debacle dominated the Cabinets weekly meeting Sir Keir told his team that Sir Olly had to go because he made an error in judgment ? the same thing the premier has admitted making himself over the appointment of Mandelson.

In the Commons, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said she was concerned about the claim No10 kept efforts to make Lord Doyle an ambassador from her predecessor David Lammy. She said she was clear the appointment would have been inappropriate

Earlier, Ed Miliband heaped woe on the premier by revealing he had warned against making Mandelson US ambassador.

Yesterday Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander raised eyebrows by saying it was 'not certain' the PM would lead Labour into the next election.

The furore has renewed doubts about whether Sir Keir can cling on in No10, after he was almost ousted in a coup in February. It is barely a fortnight until local elections where Labour is facing a battering at the hands of Reform.

Kemi Badenoch said the evidence from Sir Olly was devastating and Sir Keir should quit.

Meanwhile, as ministers scramble to get a grip on the spiralling crisis, the PMs top ally Darren Jones this afternoon announced a leak inquiry into how information about Lord Mandelsons security vetting was given to a newspaper.

But Sir Olly ? who took on his role after Mandelson was publicly announced, but before he was formally confirmed as US envoy ? said there was an 'atmosphere of pressure'.

I walked into a situation in which there was already a very, very strong expectation... that he needed to be in post and in America as soon as possible,' he said.

Giving evidence this morning, Sir Olly said he had received a letter terminating his employment yesterday but still did notfully understand why he was sacked. He is now thought to be consulting lawyers, which might result in a huge payoff.

The ousted civil servant said he had been verbally briefed on the vetting process by the Foreign Offices security chief in January last year, and had been told the team were leaning towards rejecting Mandelson.

However, he argued officials agreed there were ways of managing the risks and he had been empowered to go ahead.

I was briefed that UK Security Vettin considered Mandelson a borderline case and that they were leaning towards recommending that clearance be denied, but that the Foreign Offices security department assessed that the risks identified as of highest concern by UKSV could be managed and/or mitigated, Sir Olly said.

I was also told that the risks did not relate to Mandelsons relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

And I was told that UKSV acknowledged, I dont know in what way, but acknowledged that the Foreign Office might wish to grant clearance with appropriate risk management.

Lord Doyle ? who has been suspended from the party ? campaigned for Morton after he was charged with possessing and distributing indecent images of children in December 2016.

At the point of my campaigning support, Morton repeatedly asserted to all those who knew him his innocence, including initially in court, the peer said.

To have not ceased support ahead of a judicial conclusion was a clear error of judgment for which I apologise unreservedly.

Sir Olly said Mandelson was also asked about the prospect of a role in Washington for Lord Doyle.

I think subsequently, or maybe simultaneously, Mandelson was asked about whether there was a job that could be made available in the US network, he told MPs.

And so I think the fact that No 10 was interested in potential diplomatic options for Doyle was probably a bit more broadly known than I realised at the time.

Sir Keir was asked in the Commons yesterday whether he knew of any other cases apart from Mandelson where political appointments had been attempted to diplomatic posts, and dodged answering directly saying he would have to check.

n another swipe at the PM, Sir Olly said he regretted that some of the allegations about his conduct were not put to him before he was sacked.

Some of the points that the Prime Minister and others are making about the Foreign Offices decision making and about my accountability, I regret that those were not put to me before I received a letter dismissing me he said.

Sir Olly said he was personally upset at losing his role which he loved

The official readout of the weekly Cabinet meeting suggests that despite the ongoing Iran war, the Mandelson row was the only issue discussed. There was a political discussion afterwards.

The Prime Minister concluded by saying that Sir Olly Robbins made an error of judgment, but that he is a man of integrity and professionalism, the readout said.

In an emergency debate on the row in the Commons, Mrs Badenoch said the idea that Downing Street is the victim of others not following due process is laughable

The Prime Minister ? placed top secret intelligence in the hands of a man he KNEW to be a national security risk, she said.
