‘Two-tier’ Keir insisted on ‘Petie’ Mandelson – and is paying the price.
Since December 2024, we have been reporting on the seemingly absurd choice of US ambassador made by failing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
At that point, anyone paying attention to the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring scandal would know, because of copious evidence unveiled during the US Virgin Islands lawsuit against JPMorgan, of the close and long-lasting friendship between Lord Peter Mandelson and the late pedophile.
Two senior members of Donald J. Trump’s cabinet had previously ‘expressed concerns about Lord Mandelson’s ties to Epstein’.
But Starmer insisted on rolling the dice – and lost.
The Epstein ‘Birthday Book’ has been unveiled during the US House Oversight Committee’s review of the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell prosecutions – and in it, more evidence of just how close ‘Petie’ was to the disgraced financier.
Keir Starmer took a long time to fire Mandelson, and is now facing another Labour revolt over his handling of the scandal.
Labour bigwigs are openly raising concerns about the judgment of the Prime Minister.
The Telegraph reported:
“The Prime Minister sacked his ambassador to the US just seven months into his tenure, after emails urging Jeffrey Epstein to fight for early release from jail revealed the ‘depth and extent’ of their friendship.
His dismissal came after The Telegraph also revealed that Lord Mandelson worked with Epstein on a £1bn business deal after his conviction.
Downing Street claimed the sacking was taken ‘in light of additional information’, despite Lord Mandelson’s friendship with the convicted pedophile being known long before Sir Keir sent him to Washington.”
“Andy Burnham, the Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester who is widely tipped to run again for the party leadership, said Sir Keir had questions to answer. […] ‘I wasn’t privy to the vetting process, so I don’t know what was known at the time, and I think people will want to question that now in the hours and days ahead’.
Luke Hurst, national coordinator of Mainstream, the new Left-wing Labour group backed by Mr. Burnham, said: ‘Peter Mandelson’s inevitable sacking is what happens when you put your party faction’s interest before your party and before the country. If Starmer keeps running a narrow and brittle political project, it will break him and could break the Labour Party’.”
