DEVELOPING: Labour MPs Unleash Fury Over Mandelson Appointment Amid Growing Crisis

Breaking News: Labour MPs Unleash Fury Over Mandelson Appointment Amid Growing Crisis Labour MPs are publicly and privately expressing outrage over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as UK ambassador to the US, following his dismissal due to links with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The men's friendship was known at the time of his appointment, but new information only came to light this week. The situation is being described as a "shambles" by one Labour MP, with a government minister questioning the sustainability of Prime Minister's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney staying in post. Several senior Labour figures claim McSweeney resisted Mandelson's departure on Wednesday, citing "cold, hard fury" amongst those in Downing Street. Mandelson was appointed to the US role despite his friendship with Epstein being well-documented at the time. The new information about their relationship only came to light this week, leading to his dismissal. No 10 claims they were unaware of the full extent of their relationship until now. The growing crisis has sparked a heated debate within Labour ranks, with some calling for McSweeney's resignation. However, a senior No 10 source disputes these claims, saying McSweeney was aware of Mandelson's potential departure by Wednesday afternoon.
