Keir Starmer faces mounting Labour unrest today as he desperately tries to draw a line under Lord Mandelson's humiliating exit.
Furious MPs are openly warning that Sir Keir is 'not up to the job' and 'trust is eroding' in the wake of the meltdown.
The PM has yet to speak publicly as finger are pointed at him and powerful chief aide Morgan McSweeney over the disastrous appointment of the peer as US ambassador.
The New Labour architect was dramatically sacked yesterday after the emergence of a tranche of extraordinary emails to notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, describing him as his 'best pal'.
There are disputed claims that Mr McSweeney drove the original appointment, and wanted to save the peer even after the latest email revelations.
