Why Peter Mandelson ties still haunt Keir Starmer

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces renewed scrutiny over his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the U.S. Mandelson, a known associate of the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was initially denied security clearance.
The Guardian revealed this on Thursday, raising questions about Starmer's claim that “full due process” was followed.
Starmer, who campaigned on integrity, is accused of misleading Parliament.
The fallout has already led to a resignation in the Foreign Office.
Starmer plans to address Parliament on Monday, but his leadership is under pressure, especially with upcoming elections in May.
