The resignation of a key Starmer aide has accelerated the scandal.
AI Summary
Keir Starmer is facing increased pressure after Anas Sarwar, the leader of the Scottish Labour party, publicly called for his resignation. The call follows the release of emails revealing a closer relationship between Peter Mandelson, Starmer's former US ambassador, and Jeffrey Epstein than previously disclosed. The emails suggest Mandelson shared confidential information with Epstein while in a senior government role. Sarwar cited "too many mistakes" and the turmoil in Downing Street as a distraction. Starmer previously fired Mandelson in September after initial information surfaced regarding his ties to Epstein. In response to Sarwar's call, several cabinet ministers voiced their support for Starmer. Additionally, Tim Allan, Starmer's director of communications, resigned on Monday.
