Does Olly Robbins’ bombshell testimony signal the end for Starmer? | In The Room

Westminster watchers have had their popcorn out in the last 24 hours.

Keir Starmer was questioned by MPs for two hours on Monday. A day later, Sir Olly Robbins, the former permanent under-secretary of state at the Foreign Office, responded to the Select Committee on Foreign Affairs with precision. The result: further doubts about how Keir Starmer handled the appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador.

In this week’s episode of In The Room, former deputy cabinet secretary Helen MacNamara and former No. 10 special adviser Cleo Watson gives her analysis, discusses Olly Robbins’ hammer blow testimony and reveals Matthew Doyle’s appointment could be the prime minister’s ultimate undoing.
