Mandelson Scandal Rocks UK PM Keir Starmer: Calls for Resignation Mount

• UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces a major political crisis over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US, despite Mandelson's ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
• Starmer apologized to Epstein's victims for the appointment, admitting he believed Mandelson's lies, but insisted he would not resign.
• Opposition parties and some Labour MPs are calling for Starmer's resignation, with Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch stating his position is "clearly untenable."
• The crisis is fueled by newly revealed intimate email exchanges and financial dealings between Mandelson and Epstein, which Starmer claims he was unaware of the "depth and darkness."
• While there's anger within Labour, no obvious successor has emerged, with potential frontrunners like Angela Rayner and Wes Streeting facing their own challenges.
