‘Despicable criminal’: Starmer fires Peter Mandelson amid Epstein-linked email revelations

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has fired Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US after emails revealed deeper ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a 2003 letter, Mandelson called Epstein his “best pal” and praised him as “intelligent, sharp-witted.” Initially defended by Starmer, Mandelson expressed deep regret for the association and sympathy for Epstein’s victims. The scandal, erupting just before Trump’s UK visit, threatens to overshadow key diplomatic engagements.
