British Prime Minster Keir Starmer has fired his ambassador to the United States, long-time Labour Party politician Peter Mandelson, after days of revelations about Mandelson's years-long friendship with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. "In light of the additional information in emails written by Peter Mandelson, the Prime Minister has asked the Foreign Secretary to withdraw him as Ambassador," the British government said in a statement released Thursday.
Mandleson wrote that Epstein was known for "taking you by surprise ... in one of his glorious homes he likes to share with his friends (yum yum)," and that "whenever he is in the world, he remains my best pal!"
