Epstein scandal: Starmer battles to retain his job as pressure intensifies
Hindustan Times Noida
|February 10, 2026
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer battled on Monday to cling to power as revelations about the relationship between the former UK ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein spiralled into a full-blown crisis for his 19-month-old government, the AP reported.

Earlier on Monday, Starmer lost his second top aide in two days when his communications chief Tim Allan quit just months into the role. On Sunday, Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, resigned for advising Starmer to make the contentious Mandelson appointment.
McSweeney's departure deprives the beleaguered UK leader of his closest adviser and the man who helped Starmer drag Labour back to the centre after succeeding leftist leader Jeremy Corbyn in 2020.
