Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he's "absolutely furious" that he "wasn't told" that his former US Ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson had failed his security vetting before his appointment to the role. In recent months, Starmer had already faced scrutiny for hiring Mandelson, who was sacked from the post in September. Starmer said "that I wasn't told that he'd failed security vetting when I was telling Parliament that due process had been followed is unforgivable." Nicky Campbell asks listeners: Is Starmer in trouble?
