They've 2 options as it was explained to me
1 Clear the candidate- DV stays confidential
2 Refuse clearance - Tell the vettee's line manager why (who I'd guess is the Foreign Min in this case)(disclosure limited to precise reason for refusing)

Were I to be "interviewed" about some of my friends for Developed Vetting and politicians were to be told the results I'd say nothing. Politicians have the protection of Parliamentary Privilege and some use that protection. It can involve pretty detailed personal stuff and isn't only recent past. Politicians do politics and Developed Vetting has nothing to do with politics but is about how much an individual can be trusted. Politicians have no training nor talent to assess security risk and effective mitigation.

Says the man who'd be delighted if Farage were PM.
With any luck, this intervention will help open Starmer's eyes to Glasman's malign influence. He's no friend of Labour.

Labour friend of Israel, though.

The mental contortions Trump supporters must go through to demand the resignation of a PM who appointed a friend of Epstein...

Do keep up. 😉 Donnie was never friends with Epstein.
I know he has said he was best friends in the past but this is today.

They dislocated all their mental joints a long time ago, so the contortions are no problem at all. Their brains are like a Picasso painting of a brain would be.

Doesn't sound like Starmer was convincing from what I've read, and that Badenoch was pretty good. Even so, reckon he'll Klingon, but will go if local election results are as dire as might be.

The one thing that helps him is that there is no obvious successor at present
Burnham - not an MP
Angela - still got the HMRC business to get sorted
Wes - is he really a successor?
Ed Miliband - not sure he is credible with the country
Who else is there - hence Starmer continues to limp on

Fair.
