# British prime minister Keir Starmer has sacked Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US following mounting scrutiny over his relationship with late US child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Foreign Office says the decision was made “in light of additional information” in emails by Mandelson. They show the depth and extent of his relationship with Epstein was materially different to what was known when he was appointed. Mandelson served as a key link between Starmer and US president Donald Trump during a crucial time for diplomacy between the countries.
