The fallout stems from Peter Mandelson’s controversial security clearance, which Robbins says he didn’t know was granted despite vetting warnings. Starmer counters that Robbins failed to disclose vetting results, calling it a “major mistake.” The FDA union backs Robbins, warning that firing top officials without due process undermines civil service impartiality. Robbins’ legal team argues Starmer lacked authority to fire him and violated confidentiality rules. Robbins admits he’s reluctant to sue — he just wants Starmer to admit fault and make amends.
