Starmer may face more resignations after release of Mandelson WhatsApp messages, say sources

Keir Starmer is facing potential resignations following the upcoming release of Peter Mandelson's WhatsApp messages, according to government sources. The messages, forced by a parliamentary motion after Mandelson's dismissal as US ambassador, relate to his ties with Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office after emails surfaced suggesting he shared confidential information with Epstein. The next release of files will be examined by the intelligence and security committee before publication. All senior ministers, civil servants and special advisors have been asked to have their phone messages examined. Starmer has apologized for his handling of Mandelson's appointment, acknowledging his mistake.
