LIVE| ‘Why PM’s judgment failed?’: Starmer faces Commons fury after Mandelson-Epstein files dropped

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces mounting political pressure after the first batch of files linked to Peter Mandelson and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein were released. The documents reveal Starmer was warned of the “reputational risk” before appointing Mandelson as the UK’s ambassador to the US. Peter Mandelson had previously maintained links with Jeffrey Epstein even after his 2008 conviction, triggering outrage in Parliament. The revelations have sparked fierce debate in the Commons over Starmer’s judgment and transparency as the Epstein-linked files continue to emerge.
