Epstein Links Cost Peter Mandelson UK Ambassadorship
September 12, 2025
|The Morning Standard
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday fired the country's ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, over his links to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
-
In a statement in the House of Commons on Thursday, Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty said the decision came in the wake of the publication this week of emails Mandelson sent to Epstein in the 2000s, in which he gave his support to the disgraced financier even when he was facing jail for sex offenses.
Doughty said the emails showed that the "depth and extent" of Mandelson's relationship with Epstein was "materially different" from what was known when he was appointed ambassador to Washington last year after the Labour Party's election victory.
