Starmer fights for political survival : UK PM apologises over Mandelson appointment

Keir Starmer faces intensifying pressure within Labour over his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson ambassador to the United States. Starmer has apologised, saying he relied on assurances that Mandelson barely knew Jeffrey Epstein; opposition parties allege he knew of continuing links and that Mandelson stayed at Epstein’s house while he was in gaol for child prostitution.
