Peter Mandelson sacked as UK’s US ambassador over Jeffrey Epstein links | BBC News
Keir Starmer has sacked Peter Mandelson as the UK’s ambassador to the US, after he faced mounting scrutiny over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
A Foreign Office statement said the decision was made “in light of the additional information in emails written by Peter Mandelson”.
Starmer told MPs on Wednesday “I have confidence in him”, when pressed on his appointment at PMQs.
US lawmakers released a number of documents in recent days, including a letter from Mandelson in which he called the late convicted paedophile his “best pal”.

Buckingham Palace was handed emails six years ago that would have shown that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was sharing confidential government information while a trade envoy, according to court documents.
It has emerged that an archive of 30,000 emails, containing information about the former prince’s controversial financial dealings, was given to the Lord Chamberlain, the most senior officer in the Royal Household, in 2020.
The emails had been taken from a personal business contact of the former Prince Andrew.
When asked about what happened to the emails, Buckingham Palace said: “Since there is an ongoing police enquiry concerning Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, it is not possible to provide any comment on these matters.”
Mountbatten-Windsor has rejected any wrongdoing in his associations with Jeffrey Epstein and denied any personal gain from his role as trade envoy.
