0:35Now PlayingBritish Prime Minister Keir Starmer, facing renewed calls to resign, has expressed anger after learning he was never informed that his former U.S. ambassador, Peter Mandelson, failed security vetting before being handed the job. Mandelson was dismissed as ambassador last year over his ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Starmer, who won the largest majority in modern history for Labour in 2024, is facing fresh calls to step down over the Mandelson affair, just weeks before his party is expected to suffer big losses in local elections in England and regional votes in Scotland and Wales.
