MPs to vote on holding inquiry into claims Starmer misled parliament over Mandelson – UK politics live

Members of Parliament will vote on whether to launch an inquiry into allegations that Keir Starmer misled the House of Commons regarding statements about Peter Mandelson. The Speaker of the House, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, has confirmed that the decision will be put to a vote. This follows calls for Starmer to be held to the same standards of accountability expected of any senior political figure if he is found to have misrepresented information to Parliament or the public. Meanwhile, Downing Street stated that the UK is well-prepared to manage global supply chain disruptions stemming from unresolved international conflicts, citing proactive planning and ongoing monitoring of stock levels.

This vote could have significant implications for parliamentary accountability and the leadership of the Labour Party.
