The question of whether Starmer should have sacked Robbins is a valid and important one…but in a different order to whether he deliberately misled parliament…which would have been obviously fatal…so obvious that it didn’t make sense to assume he would have lied so brazenly.

But Starmer the lawyer would still have blocked the appointment..Starmer the politician facilitated it.
