Mandelson cover-up row grows as Tories demand to know whether NINE ministers copied Keir Starmer and deleted messages with disgraced peer

The scandal surrounding Peter Mandelson's resignation continues to unfold as it's revealed that nine ministers might have deleted messages in a similar fashion to Labour's Keir Starmer, sparking accusations of a cover-up. The Prime Minister's use of "disappearing messages" has raised eyebrows, especially since Labour had previously criticized the practice. This situation not only highlights a potential breach of transparency but also underscores the growing mistrust between parties regarding communication practices and accountability. The Tories' demand for clarity indicates the broader implications for political ethics and governance.
