Is UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer fighting for his job over Mandelson row? | BBC Newscast

Today, the UK Prime Minister has faced questions from MPs over the appointment of Lord Mandelson as US ambassador, despite failing security vetting.

Sir Keir Starmer accused officials in the Foreign Office of deliberately and repeatedly withholding the fact Lord Mandelson initially failed security vetting for the role. Giving a statement to MPs, the prime minister said if he had known, he would not have gone ahead with the appointment. Adam and Chris discuss where this leaves Starmer.
