Summary
Peter Mandelson’s controversial appointment is exploding into full political chaos as the government prepares to release over a thousand pages of previously secret documents — including the glaring absence of any written proof that promised security mitigations were ever agreed upon.

The government insists this is about transparency, but the missing vetting summary from the UK’s security agency leaves gaping holes in accountability — and trust is rapidly eroding.
