3:44Now PlayingUK Prime Minister Keir Starmer told Parliament on April 20 “I take responsibility for that decision,” apologizing after it emerged that Peter Mandelson was appointed US ambassador despite UK security officials recommending his vetting clearance be denied in January 2025—a warning that was never passed on to ministers. Starmer said he would not have gone ahead with the appointment had he known, as the controversy deepens over Mandelson’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein and raises serious questions about failures inside the vetting process.
