Mandy affair is a disaster for Scots

THE latest revelations in the Peter Mandelson scandal are deeply damaging for the Prime Minister.

His appointment of the disgraced former Labour figure as the UK’s ambassador to the US was a terrible error of judgment.

Keir Starmer said he did not know Mandelson failed vetting and that he is “furious” with a top civil servant for not telling him.
