Sir Keir Starmer’s premiership is on the brink after it emerged that Peter Mandelson failed his vetting for the post of US ambassador, but was still appointed anyway.
The Prime Minister says he wasn’t told and is “furious”, and Foreign Office civil servant Sir Olly Robbins has already become the latest “fall guy” for the Mandelson appointment, but Camilla and Jacob Rees-Mogg say Starmer is “either a knave or a fool” and must ultimately now fall on his sword.
Camilla and Sir Jacob also look at the options for who might replace the Prime Minister if and when he resigns, with Ed Milliband and Angela Rayner seemingly top of the list.
