Saturday Night Live UK didn’t pull any political punches as it returned from its weekend off last night – mocking Sir Keir Starmer’s appointment of Peter Mandelson as British ambassador to the U.S.
It comes after The Independent revealed last week that Mandelson had failed the vetting process before being given the role, with the prime minister insisting that he and his ministers were not aware of this until recently. Mandelson was sacked months after his appointment over his links to Jeffrey Epstein and is currently facing a police inquiry over claims that he leaked sensitive government documents to the child sex offender while in his role as business secretary.
