GB News airs final ‘hammer blow’ to Starmer: ‘It’s game | UK News

GB News presenter Patrick Christys said it is ‘game over’ for Keir Starmer when Sir Oliver Robbins gave evidence about the method to the Foreign Affairs Select Committee amid Pete Mandelson’s vetting row.

The former top official at the Foreign Office talked about that there was a “generally dismissive” angle to his vetting clearance. He added: “I feel that throughout January, my office, the Foreign Secretary Office were under constant pressure. There was an atmosphere of constant chasing.” But he confirmed that the crew accomplished vetting in the “normal high standard”.

The presenter also criticised the prime minister for repeatedly telling the public that he “regretted making the decision” of appointing Mandelson.

Sir Robbins continued: “Despite this atmosphere of pressure, the department completed DV to the normal high standard. A position taken from the Cabinet Office was that there was no need to vet Mandelson.

“He was a member of the House of Lords, he was a privy councillor, the dangers attending his appointment have been well-known, and had been made clear to the prime minister before appointment.”

There was “never any curiosity, as far as I can recall, in whether or not, but only an curiosity in when,” he added.

The GB News presenter then commented: “So you bought the deceit, which is fairly unhealthy is not it? All to secure a soft job for might of the paedophile, and that is unhealthy enough. But really the national security issue, is the real killer right here.”

Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP mentioned that Keir Starmer was made to understand that before they [the Foreign Office] had completed the clearance, that Mandelson had already strapped clearance, which gives him access to the most secure and the most dangerous information held by the government.

The Foreign Office chief was sacked last week for the “unforgivable” crime of overruling the advice of the security providers to hand Mandelson his clearance.
