On Tuesday, the House of Commons had the opportunity to debate and vote on the Conservatives' motion to refer Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee. 333 Labour MPs voted to give Keir Starmer a free pass on misleading Parliament. 

Commenting on the vote Richard Fuller MP said:

The choice for Labour MPs was whether to allow the Privileges Committee of Parliament to decide whether Keir Starmer lied to Parliament. Starmer said three times full due process was followed on the appointment of Peter Mandelson, and twice claimed that pressure was not put on officials. This has been shown to be incorrect.

Every Labour MP had the opportunity to put their country ahead of their Party and allow the investigation. They failed.

Starmer threatened to take their jobs off them. And so they put their jobs, careers and self-interest first.

They will now need to explain to their constituents why they have voted for a cover up.
