Starmer Dismisses Mandelson-Epstein Theories Over Stolen Phone

Prime Minister Keir Starmer brushed off concerns that the theft of his former top aide’s phone was in any way linked to an investigation into the UK government’s appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador.

The government was forced by Parliament into agreeing to publish thousands of documents and communications relating to the appointment after more details emerged in the US revealing the extent of Mandelson’s relationship with the late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein.
