U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday dismissed Peter Mandelson, the British ambassador to the U.S., over his links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Why it matters: Mandelson's relationship with the disgraced financier was thrust back into the spotlight after the release of Epstein's so-called "birthday book" earlier this week. In it, he described Epstein as his "best pal."
