as posted by the channelConservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has accused Sir Keir Starmer of "misleading" parliament over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as the UK's ambassador to the US.

Mandelson was sacked in September 2025 after further details emerged about his links to the late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Mandelson has previously denied any wrongdoing in regard to his relationship with Epstein.
