It’s predicted to be a difficult week for the Prime Minister, as the Speaker of the House of Commons may allow opposition parties to force a vote on whether or not to make him face a ‘sleaze probe’.

If the vote is passed, then a so-called sleaze committee will question Sir Keir over claims No10 had put no pressure “whatsoever” on the Foreign Office over Lord Mandelson’s appointment.

His comments, made last week, appear counter to those of Sir Olly Robbins, the department’s former permanent secretary, who told MPs earlier on that Downing Street had exerted “constant pressure” to install the Labour peer to his plum Washington post.
