Sir Keir Starmer was aware of Peter Mandelson’s ongoing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein when he was in the frame to become US ambassador but decided to press ahead with the appointment anyway, he admitted today when grilled by Kemi Badenoch at Prime Minister’s Questions.
Starmer, for his part, threw the one-time party grandee to the wolves, saying Mandelson had repeatedly “lied” to his team, had “betrayed” his country with the apparent leaking of sensitive financial documents and that he “regretted appointing him”.
On today’s Daily T, Camilla and Tim reflect on whether, with his own MPs turning on him again and his self-ascribed reputation of being a squeaky clean man of integrity lying in tatters, Starmer is now finished.
