2022 Starmer would’ve thought 2026 Starmer should face an inquiry.

RT by @JonTonge: EXCLUSIVE Sir Keir Starmer WILL face a vote on whether he should be referred to a parliamentary sleaze inquiry over the appointment of Lord Mandelson as US ambassador Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker of the Commons, is expected allow a debate and a vote tomorrow on whether to refer the prime minister to the privileges committee over claims he misled the House The Tories and other opposition parties have accused Starmer of misleading MPs by claiming that "due process" was followed in the appointment of Mandelson as ambassador to the United States and there was "no pressure whatsoever" Starmer's claims were contradicted last week by Sir Olly Robbins, who Starmer sacked as permanent secretary at the Foreign Office. He said there was "constant pressure" over Mandelson's appointment. The Times has been told that Hoyle is expected to allow the request for the debate and vote because the procedural bar for doing so is "relatively low". Parliamentary rules state that complaints must not be "frivolous" As we revealed this morning Starmer is likely to whip his MPs to oppose the motion. It will be a three line whip. So the question remains how many of them are likely to defy him? Starmer’s allies argue that the vote is a distraction from more important issues like the fallout from Iran and the impending cost of living crisis. They deny claims that he misled the Commons https://www.thetimes.com/article/ceb8bf15-58b6-4aaf-9eb8-5669fe015b7f?shareToken=d8bce566d2442f53d87286e09aa0ef0c
