British PM Starmer Faces Labour Rebellion and Calls for Resignation – Admits He Knew Mandelson Kept Close to Epstein After His Conviction, and Nominated Him US Ambassador Anyway
Starmer is getting his own taste of the Epstein curse.
Former Prince Andrew and the disgraced ‘Prince of Darkness’ Peter Mandelson have had their lives destroyed by the revelations contained in the DOJ’s Epstein Files, but the damage doesn’t seem to be stopping there.
Failing Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing open rebellion in his party after admitting that he knew that Mandelson had stayed friends with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, but appointed him US ambassador anyway – even though he was warned of this fact by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Watch:
This is the start of the end.

Daily News reported:
“After months of evasion, the Prime Minister was forced to admit he appointed the Labour peer as US ambassador despite being told by officials that he had remained friends with Epstein, even after the businessman’s conviction for child sex offences.
Downing Street confirmed the PM also knew that Mandelson had continued to stay at Epstein’s house while he was in prison and after he was released.”
‘The PM admitted he knew about the Epstein links and still gave Mandelson the job!’

“Last night he was facing questions from all sides about his own judgment in continuing with the appointment. Kemi Badenoch, who forced the admission from Sir Keir, said his decision to press ahead was ‘absolutely shocking’.”
Starmer is trying frantically to blame someone else for his tragic mistakes, so he went out and accused the security services of ‘failing to vet Lord Mandelson properly’.
The Telegram reported:
“The Prime Minister said on Thursday that the Government needed to ‘look at’ the vetting process by both the Cabinet Office and security services that took place at the time of the disgraced Labour peer’s appointment.”
The Epstein files revealed emails showing payments from the late pedophile to Lord Mandelson and his husband, and discussing sensitive government information.
“The fallout prompted a Labour rebellion in the House of Commons on Wednesday and has led to the Prime Minister’s own MPs calling for him to consider his position over his appointment of Lord Mandelson as US ambassador.”
