Starmer's Chief of Staff Resigns Amid Mandelson-Epstein Controversy

• British PM Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, resigned over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as U.K. ambassador to the U.S.
• McSweeney took responsibility for advising Starmer to appoint Mandelson despite his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
• Newly published documents suggest Mandelson sent market-sensitive information to Epstein during the 2008 financial crisis and received $75,000 in payments.
• Starmer faces a political storm, with lawmakers calling for his resignation, after apologizing for "having believed Mandelson’s lies."
• Metropolitan Police are investigating Mandelson for potential misconduct in public office, not sexual offenses, and searched his properties.
