Calls for Prime Minister Keir Starmer's resignation have intensified over his appointment of Peter Mandelson, a Jeffrey Epstein associate, as US ambassador. Starmer admitted making a judgment error. Donald Trump posted on Truth Social calling Mandelson "a really bad pick" but adding Starmer had "plenty of time to recover." Mandelson, fired last September, was arrested in February over sharing confidential government data with Epstein.
