UK PM Starmer faces vote on possible parliamentary probe over Mandelson, Times newspaper reports

Britain's ​parliament will vote ​on Tuesday ‌over a ​possible inquiry into Prime Minister Keir Starmer, ‌looking at whether he misled the House of Commons over the appointment of ‌former U.S. ambassador Peter Mandelson, ‌the Times newspaper reported.

Any such inquiry could have serious implications for Starmer's future. He ⁠has ​so ⁠far resisted pressure to quit over his decision ⁠to hire Mandelson, but if found ​to have knowingly misled parliament his position ⁠would likely become untenable.

The Times reported ⁠that ​House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle would approve a request ⁠for parliament to debate and vote upon whether ⁠the ⁠Committee of Privileges should look into the matter.
