British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday sacked his Ambassador to the US, Lord Peter Mandelson, over scandalous emails linking him to convicted American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In a statement in the House of Commons, Foreign Office Minister Stephen Doughty informed members of Parliament that Starmer had asked Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper to withdraw Mandelson as the British Ambassador to Washington DC.
Doughty said the decision was taken after emails showed the “depth and extent” of the controversial Labour politician's relationship with Epstein, who died in a New York prison six years ago.
