Peter Kyle Addresses Mandelson’s Epstein Links: ‘Talent Was Worth the Risk’

Cabinet Minister Peter Kyle defended the hiring of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador, stating his talent was worth the risk despite Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is under pressure to explain what he knew about Mandelson's ties to Epstein when he appointed him.
Mandelson was sacked after emails revealed he urged Epstein to fight his paedophilia conviction just before Epstein's sentencing.
Kyle insisted that if the Labour Government had known about Mandelson's correspondence at the time, they would not have made the appointment.
