Starmer, as it turns out, is astoundingly naive and a poor politician. But there’s no way he knowingly stood up in the Commons and lied through his teeth. He’s just not built that way. That’s not necessarily a compliment in current politics. Johnson did it for years and got away with it right up to the time his own party said “enough” and binned him off. For all Starmer’s many faults, he’s no Boris Johnson.

As an aside the nonsense I keep reading that “Boris” was forced to resign because he ate a bit of cake at a party against Covid rules is a complete rewriting of history and possibly the stupidest thing ever said.

Astoundingly naïve and a poor politician you missed out that he's also a massive liar.

Also, it’s almost impossible to “fail” DV. I genuinely dread to think what they found.

And therefore excused. Mandelson and McSweeney were running the show. Why tell the dummy? Mandelson has killed the Labour Party.

Well no. That was my point. Starmer is many things but I don’t think he’s a liar. Other opinions are available.

I don't think he's a liar. I think he's a technical adviser in the wrong job. Just hopeless as a PM.

Trump is a liar, Johnson is a liar, Fartage is a liar. All world class.

What I find crazy about this is that at no point did anyone feel the need to inform the PM of what had happened.

I’ve been struggling with that one myself since this story broke. But I think Monny has probably nailed it above.

We’ve had our moments where Starmer is convened, I honestly feel for the bloke.

Really, he said he wasn't putting taxes up amongst many other things and he's not a liar, he's a duplicitous one as well. Dear me, he's heading for the title of the worst PM in history.

I can't stand the sight of him and even seeing his name makes my temperature rise.

There’s been at least two worse than him in the last 5 years.

And David Cameron is solely responsible for most of the current mess this country is in.

Starmer was kept in dark about Mandelson’s vetting by two top civil servants

Exclusive: Officials have spent weeks debating whether or not to release highly sensitive information about the affair

Oh dear. This is genuinely astonishing. The civil service’s default setting is usually to tell anyone and everyone so if it goes tits up there’s always someone else to point at. As I understand it as an outsider of course…
