Dismissed the secret e -mails of the American ambassador to Epstein

Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the conservative party, called the E -mails “sicknessing” and said that the role of Mandelson was untenable before his looting.

“This is a weak prime minister, who leads a government in scandal. The audience deserves better,” she said before Mandelson got the boot.

Ed Davey, the Liberal -Democratic leader, demanded a study into the civil service into breaches of the diplomatic code.

Various Labor Parliament members were private furious with Starmer’s decision to appoint Mandelson earlier this year, despite his known association with Epstein, which was convicted in 2008 and was released in 2009.

One parliament member said that Downing Street had treated the scandal as’ a foolish internet -entertainment, while the other described it as a ‘boy’s club mentality’.

Gloria Allred, the American lawyer who represents dozens of victims of Epstein, said Mandelson should testify to the congress.

“These women deserve answers about how powerful figures make Epstein possible,” she said.
