"I think the failure of judgment here was the failure to tell the prime minister that Peter Mandelson, who actually is responsible for all of this... the person that I am angry at is Peter Mandelson."
"The prime minister, on the big calls facing this country, has made the right calls... whether it's on international issues, rebuilding our relationship with the EU, saying we won't get involved in the war, investing in our defence."
"He is a man of integrity and there is no way he would have proceeded with that, whatever the so-called embarrassment. He would have thought that was wrong, and he would not have done."
Liz Kendall defended Keir Starmer against criticism regarding Peter Mandelson's appointment as US ambassador. She stated that the real failure was not informing Starmer about Mandelson's security vetting issues. Kendall emphasized Starmer's integrity and his sound judgment on significant national matters, including international relations and domestic issues like poverty and violence against women. She asserted that Starmer would not jeopardize the UK and has consistently made the right calls for the country.
