-
The Labour grandee was sacked from his post on Thursday morning after emails were published showing Lord Mandelson sent supportive messages to paedo-phile financier Jeffrey Epstein even as he faced jail for sex offences.
Business Secretary Peter Kyle rejected claims that Lord Mandelson was appointed as the UK’s top diplomat in Washington before security checks were completed.
