Keir Starmer apologized for appointing Peter Mandelson to a senior role despite Mandelson’s links to Jeffrey Epstein, saying he was sorry for believing Mandelson’s lies and appointing him.
Starmer said Mandelson had lied about the depth of his relationship with Epstein, and that information now available shows the answers Mandelson gave were lies.
The apology comes as Starmer’s government faces a crisis over the appointment, with low popularity ratings and crucial local elections approaching, and Starmer seeking to restore the electorate’s faith in politicians.
