Starmer fires Ambassador to US who called Epstein his 'best pal'
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has fired Peter Mandelson as Britain's Ambassador to US over his ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The 71-year-old had come under scrutiny after a birthday book included his purported letter describing Epstein as "my best pal". In a leaked email from 2008, Mandelson told Epstein, "Your friends stay with you and love you."
