9:28Now PlayingHenry Riley joins James O’Brien as news breaks that Lord Mandelson has been removed from his position as ambassador to the US.
The withdrawal comes with immediate effect, following allegations about his relationship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty confirmed to the Commons on Thursday morning that Lord Mandelson has been sacked, noting that emails revealed the "extent and depth" of his relationship with the financier.
"In light of additional information in emails written by Peter Mandelson, the prime minister has asked the foreign secretary to withdraw him as ambassador to the United States.
"The emails show that the depth and extent of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is materially different from that known at the time of his appointment," he added.
The MP highlighted that a key turning point when it came to the sacking was "Mandelson's suggestion that Jeffrey Epstein's first conviction was wrongful and should be challenged".
