URGENT: Starmer Faces Sudden Scrutiny After Mandelson's Shocking Ouster

Breaking News: Starmer Faces Scrutiny Over Mandelson's Sacking Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is facing fresh questions over his appointment of Peter Mandelson as the UK's ambassador to the US, after he was sacked yesterday. Mandelson was given the role in December and has been removed due to his links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Sir Keir fired Mandelson after reviewing emails that showed the Labour peer sent supportive messages to Epstein as he faced charges for sex offences in 2008. The government claims new information about the "depth" of Lord Mandelson's relationship with Epstein had not been known when he was appointed last year. The Conservatives are calling for the publication of all vetting material, while some Labour MPs are criticising Sir Keir for appointing Mandelson in the first place. A spokesperson for the Prime Minister said vetting was handled by government departments and denied any involvement from No 10. This sudden move has raised questions about the vetting process and the Prime Minister's judgment in appointing Mandelson. The situation is developing rapidly, with further information expected to emerge in the coming hours.
