Top Foreign Office official Olly Robbins to leave post after Mandelson vetting row

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch, who has previously called for the Prime Minister to stand down, said: “Either he knew that Mandelson had failed his vetting and lied to us repeatedly in Parliament and on television, or he didn’t know, didn’t ask and said he had passed his vetting – which means he is hopelessly incompetent.”
