YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNick Ferrari was joined by LBC's Natasha Clark and Keir Starmer's former adviser, Luke Sullivan, explained the PM's situation.
Sir Keir Starmer is to address MPs amid mounting pressure over his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson US Ambassador despite knowing about his relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Morgan McSweeney, who was widely seen as Sir Keir's top aide, resigned from Downing Street on Sunday after he admitted to advising the Prime Minister to appoint Mandelson.
The PM is expected to meet with Labour MPs on Monday to garner support and move on from the scandal over Mandelson's ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
But the party's backbenchers are expected to tell Starmer he should quit, given that he made the final decision on appointing Mandelson.
Kim Johnson, the MP for Liverpool Riverside, told the Telegraph that Mr McSweeney’s resignation would “not protect the PM – his position is untenable”.
Ian Byrne, the MP for Liverpool West, said: “The PM must now reflect honestly on his own position and ask whether, for the good of the country and the Labour Party, he should follow McSweeney’s lead.”
