Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today
Very unsatisfactory that he cannot say whether there was new staff in the vetting recommendation or why he and he alone thought it ok to have ignore the recommendation
Not satisfactory that he hasn’t explained his decision or whether there was new stuff in the vetting.
Guy on the right is who?
