URGENT: UK SACKS WASHINGTON AMBASSADOR OVER EPSTEIN EMAIL SCANDAL

BREAKING NEWS UK Fires Ambassador to Washington Over Epstein Email Scandal The UK has sacked its ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, over his links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson wrote an email to Epstein in 2008, before becoming ambassador. Mandelson's email was uncovered just days before President Trump is due to arrive in the UK for a state visit. The move is seen as a major diplomatic blow to the UK government. Peter Mandelson served as a Cabinet minister and European Union trade commissioner from the center-left Labour Party.

Mandelson's decision to write to Epstein has sparked widespread criticism. This development comes at a sensitive time for UK-US relations, with President Trump due to arrive in the UK soon. The UK government is yet to comment on the situation. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY We will provide further updates as more information becomes available. *This is a developing story.
