I agree with what Kemi Badenoch says, either KS lied or he is hopelessly incompetent.

I fear you are correct on both counts

I hoped for better…

Both.

More duplicity.
More blaming others.
Why was he incapable of asking a question?

I have to admit to being rather confused. KS said that Mandelson had been vetted so why didn't he know he'd failed? As he'd been vetted for an important post that KS was going to bestow on him, surely the Foreign Office wouldn't have the authority to tell KS Mandelson had passed if he hadn't.

Yvette Cooper?

So who do you want to be running the country at this moment in time?
