Epstein Mandelson Scandal Causes Crisis for Starmer

Описание: Keir Starmer faces a crisis after fresh revelations about links between Jeffrey Epstein and the UK's former ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson. Could the scandal cost the UK prime minister his job?

Labour members of Parliament describe the mood in the governing party as febrile and mutinous, with some starting to number Keir Starmer's days as leader.

The parliamentary drama began with a session of Prime Minister's Questions in which Starmer struggled to parry interventions from Conservative opposition leader Kemi Badenoch about Peter Mandelson's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Starmer's appointment of Mandelson as ambassador to the US has sparked a scandal, with some Labour MPs describing Morgan McSweeney's position as untenable and speculating that Starmer hasn't fired him to avoid hastening his own downfall.
