YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSir Keir Starmer has told MPs he 'regrets' appointing Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US.
Speaking in the Commons during PMQs, the Prime Minister said Mandelson “betrayed our country” by leaking to Jeffrey Epstein and had “lied repeatedly” during the appointment process to the US ambassador job.
Sir Keir also said he has discussed with the King that Mandelson “should be removed from the list of Privy Counsellors on grounds that he brought the reputation of the Privy Council into disrepute”.
He said the new revelations from the Epstein files are "beyond infuriating", adding that Mandelson "lied repeatedly" about his relationship with Epstein.
Sir Keir admitted that he was aware of Mandelson’s ongoing relationship with Epstein when appointing him, but argued the "depth" of this was not known.
Lewis Goodall joins Shelagh Fogarty to analyse the Prime Minister's PMQs performance and debate what this could mean for his future as Labour leader.
