Newscast – The Morgan McSweeney Evidence
Available for more than a year
MPs today voted that Keir Starmer should not face an investigation into whether he misled Parliament about Lord Mandelson’s appointment. MPs voted 335 to 223 against the motion led by the Conservative Party. During the debate, Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said it was “very clear” that Starmer had said things to the House of Commons that were “not true”. No 10 accused the conservatives of “putting on a desperate political show”. Adam, Joe and Alex reacted to the vote. They also examined Starmer’s former chief of staff Morgan McSweeney’s statement about the Mandelson appointment. McSweeney said the Prime Minister had made a “serious mistake” by advising him to appoint the former US ambassador. You can now listen to the News broadcast on a smart speaker.
