Following Sir Keir Starmer’s bombshell admission during Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) that he “did know” Peter Mandelson’s friendship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein when he appointed the former peer as the UK ambassador to the US, his future now remains uncertain.
The Tory leader Kemi Badenoch took firm aim at Starmer during PMQs, she asked, “The political decision to appoint Epstein’s close associate Peter Mandelson as ambassador in Washington goes to the very heart of this PM’s judgement.
“When he made that appointment, was he aware that Mandelson had continued his association even after Epstein’s conviction for child prostitution?”
Starmer eventually said, “Yes it did… as a result various questions were put to him. Time and time again Mandelson completely misrepresented the extent of his relationship with Epstein and lied throughout the process, including in the response to the due diligence.
Badenoch blasted that Starmer’s response is “shocking.
