Sir Keir Starmer has apologised to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, saying he was “sorry for having believed Mandelson’s lies” and for his decision to appoint him as the UK’s ambassador to Washington.
The Prime Minister said that “none of us knew the depth of the darkness” of Lord Mandelson’s relationship with the paedophile financier, accusing him of misleading officials during the vetting process, claiming Mandelson had given the impression that he “barely knew” Epstein.
