US EditionKemi Badenoch accuses Sir Keir Starmer of 'lying' about Peter Mandelson prior to sacking him
Questions arise over Prime Minister Starmer's awareness of Lord Mandelson's emails to Epstein, with allegations of misinformation during parliamentary sessions and calls for full transparency.
- Kemi Badenoch, Conservative politician, accused Sir Keir Starmer of `lying` about when he knew the Mandelson emails, claiming Downing Street had them two days before Thursday.
- On Monday, September 8 Bloomberg News sent a letter with excerpts from more than 100 emails between Mandelson and Epstein, and the Foreign Office then received a media inquiry on Tuesday which was passed to No 10.
- Published excerpts showed Lord Peter Mandelson urging Jeffrey Epstein, convicted sex offender, to `fight for early release` shortly before his 18 months sentence and telling him `I think the world of you`.
- With Starmer under fire this week, MPs demanded `full transparency` and some Labour MPs and ministers said Prime Minister Keir Starmer should resign if found to have misled the House amid growing questions about his judgment.
- The Cabinet Office had flagged Mandelson's links before his appointment, noting a file was provided to the Prime Minister, but Downing Street and the Foreign Office said the emails from a closed email account were materially different.
