Starmer should resign for ‘shameful role’ in appointment of Mandelson – Flynn

SNP leader Stephen Flynn has called for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign over his role in appointing Peter Mandelson as US ambassador despite failing vetting. Flynn urged Scots to vote SNP to 'show Keir Starmer the door' and secure a fresh start with independence.

SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn has demanded UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's resignation due to his involvement in appointing Peter Mandelson as US ambassador. Mandelson was appointed despite failing a secure vetting process, with the Foreign Office blamed for clearing him. Starmer has expressed fury and described the failure to inform him as 'staggering'. Sir Olly Robbins, Foreign Office permanent secretary at the time, was sacked after losing Starmer's confidence. Flynn urged Scots to vote SNP on May 7 to secure a fresh start with independence. The SNP is campaigning on a platform of independence, citing the 'constant chaos and soaring cost of living under Westminster control'.
