Spotlight falls on Starmer's political judgment after Mandelson sacking

Keir Starmer is facing serious questions about his political judgment after he was forced to sack his US ambassador Peter Mandelson over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. In the second damaging departure for the government in a week, the prime minister withdrew support for Lord Mandelson over emails to Epstein from 2008 suggesting his sentence for soliciting a child for prostitution should be challenged. The scandal comes at a disastrous time for Starmer ahead of Donald Trump's state visit to the UK next week.
