In normal times it’s a resigning matter but these days and politics the way they’re around the globe?
Probably not.

Someone will resign over it. Whether it’s the person that should, you never know until long after the event if ever.

Just a wrong postcode, simple mistake. Nothing to see here.

The current line that “officials did it all” without any political or ministerial oversight, especially given all the context about Mandleson, his controversial past, and the profile of the Epstein case seems scarcely believable to me. Starmer saying that all relevant checks had been passed doesn’t help either.
As ever, big trust issues in politics and this stuff doesn’t help.

No he is getting Sue Gray to lead an independent investigation in to it.

There is going to be a criminal investigation into 17 other shipments from the same UK company to Israel that went through Belgium illegally

Who should replace him?

Even if he wasn’t aware at the time (and that required a huge leap of faith) surely when this all kicked off 6 odd months ago the first thing the PM should do is ask “what happened with Mandelson’s DV?”. Additionally this was a political appointment and it stretches credibility to think a civil servant would make the final decision on a failed DV. The fact someone of Mandelson’s track record was given the job before DV was completed is incompetent at best.

Starmer is surely fucked after this?

Give it giggsy until the local elections?
The way this country has been run over the last few decades, a group of 11 year old kids would have more common sense than the idiots that have been in charge of things.

It’s about time everyone who works for him is open and honest and presents the full picture so he can be the very best version of himself for us all.
I can only imagine how furious he is over this and even more determined than ever to stay in post and deliver his promises for the country.
Darren Jones is assuring us all that process was followed by the PM and in no way has he ever misled the house so let’s all just move on and in the meantime we can have an urgent review so it never happens again.

I'm sick of everyone around him letting him down tbh, a great man dragged down by incompetence or maybe even a machiavellian scheme devised by the right wing BBC to rid the elitist status quo of this working class oink.
