Hello, we've got a little bit of a change of plan on Newscast.
You will later on hear the latest episode of Electioncast, where we'll be digging into the campaign for the Scottish Parliament elections.
But before that, we're going to do a little bit of breaking news, because in between recording the last episode of Newscast and this one, there's been quite a few developments in the Lord Mandelson vetting story, which was broken by The Guardian on Thursday afternoon.
Sir Ollie Robbins, Sir Oliver Robbins, has left the Foreign Office.
He was the most senior civil servant, and he is the person who reportedly overruled the findings of Lord Mandelson's vetting to allow him to be appointed as the ambassador to Washington DC.
And all of this has provoked this response from the Prime Minister, who was in Paris for a meeting of other countries who are trying to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, but which has been sort of diverted a bit by this story.
That I wasn't told...
that Peter Mandelson had failed security vetting when he's appointed is staggering.
That I wasn't told that he'd failed security vetting when I was telling Parliament that due process had been followed is unforgivable.
Not only was I not told, no minister was told.
And I'm absolutely furious about that.
What I intend to do is to go to Parliament on Monday to set out all the relevant facts
in true transparency, so Parliament has the full picture.
So, a very angry Keir Starmer there.
Coming your way shortly, an episode of ElectionCast.
But before that, we will get Chris's analysis of what's been going on in the last 24 hours in the news, in this episode of Newscast.
Newscast.
Humanity's next great voyage begins.
We are in the midst of a rupture.
Ooh la la.
