From my understanding, Mandelson was appointed because of this connections, not despite them. In my opinion, Starmer did this (in hindsight - a poor decision) purely from the motivation to minimise economic damage to the UK and no other personal gain.

Pls read whole piece. Neither Mandelson or Mosley were asked about Mandelson’s role in fixing Starmer’s visit to Palantir & subsequent £240m deal. It finally made headlines on Weds when a q was asked in Parliament.

But honestly, BBC also has qs to answer
