Sir Keir Starmer denies he knew Lord Mandelson failed security checks ahead of US posting.

The Prime Minister denies he knew Lord Mandelson had failed security vetting as he was made ambassador to America, as he sacks he civil servant he blames, Sir Oliver Robbins. Journalist David Maddox, who put the allegations to Number 10 months ago, calls the Prime Minister's position 'rubbish'.
