One could easily ask: Why the fuss about the Epstein files and the calls for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign for his appointment of the colorful politician Peter Mandelson as UK ambassador to the US, despite his clear links to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein? Is it a storm in a teacup stirred up by the opposition parties, mainly the Conservatives and Reform UK? Or is it a clear failure by Starmer and his team, who prided themselves on running for office on tight parameters surrounding integrity in politics? Or has it been stirred by the left wing of the Labour Party?

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's chief of staff resigned over the furor surrounding the appointment of Peter Mandelson as the U.K. ambassador to the U.S.

Morgan McSweeney said he took responsibility for advising the British prime minister to appoint Peter Mandelson despite his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
