Starmer Apologizes, Epstein Scandal Widens

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer apologized Thursday to victims of Jeffrey Epstein for appointing Peter Mandelson as Britain's ambassador to Washington, a decision he now regrets due to Mandelson's closer-than-previously-known relationship with the disgraced financier, according to multiple news sources. The apology, prompted by the release of new documents detailing Mandelson's ties to Epstein, has led to Mandelson's dismissal and a police investigation, sparking both criticism and commendation.

Starmer's apology came after documents revealed further details of Mandelson's relationship with Epstein, "pointing to a closer relationship than Mandelson had previously disclosed," according to Euronews. In a speech, Starmer stated that Mandelson had "portrayed Epstein as someone he barely knew." This misjudgment has drawn intense pressure on Starmer, with some MPs expressing concerns and opposition leaders deeming his position "untenable," according to BBC World.

The scandal has widened, with calls for Starmer's resignation, as reported by multiple sources. However, at least one Epstein survivor has commended Starmer for acknowledging his error and apologizing publicly, according to BBC World.

Simultaneously, the fallout from the Epstein scandal has extended to the royal family. Prince Andrew has vacated Royal Lodge and is residing at Wood Farm, with a permanent move planned, potentially expedited due to the release of Epstein-related files and Prince William's desire to distance the royal family, according to Euronews.
