Summary
What might Sir Philip Barton and Morgan McSweeney reveal about the Mandelson vetting scandal? Today, the former foreign office mandarin and Keir Starmer’s former chief of staff give evidence to MPs on the Foreign Affairs Select Committee. That’s before the Commons vote on whether there should be an inquiry on if the Prime Minister misled Parliament. As well as select committees and votes, there are still 13 active bills to deal with before Parliament prorogues tomorrow. Sam’s in London for a pivotal day in the Starmer leadership and Anne’s in Washington for the King’s state visit.
