The Prime Minister removed Mandelson as the UK ambassador to the United States, following the publication of Jeffrey Epstein's "Birthday Book", in which Mandelson wrote a ten-page message of friendship to the paedophile financier.
Keir Starmer originally stood by his ambassador - which Andrew Marr suggests is related to Mandelson's proximity to Donald Trump. But the decision came on Thursday that Mandelson had been removed from post.
Andrew Marr, George Eaton and Anoosh Chakelian discuss why Keir Starmer decided to make this decision, what took him "so long", and who could replace Mandelson in the vital role of ambassador.
