British Government Releases Documents on the Appointment of Disgraced Peter Mandelson as US Ambassador – PM Starmer Was Warned That the Epstein Friend Posed a ‘Reputational Risk’

Failing PM Starmer knew the extent of Mandelson’s ties to Epstein before appointing him as US ambassador.

Peter Mandelson thought himself immune to the ‘Epstein curse’ – but he was not.

As a result, he was fired from his ambassadorship, had to resign from the Labour Party and the House of Lords, his consulting firm collapsed, and to top it all, he was arrested over his Epstein ties, as he is criminally investigated for ‘Misconduct in Public Office’.

Today (11), after some time has passed and the ‘Epstein crisis’ has subsided in the UK, the British government released the first batch of documents covering the appointment of ​Peter Mandelson as ambassador to Washington.

And, as it was expected, it’s reviving questions about Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s misguided judgment in appointing a ‌close friend of Jeffrey Epstein in such a key post.

‘In writing, the PM was given clear warning of the dangers of appointing Lord Mandelson.’
