US EditionStarmer Vows to Remain as UK PM Amid Epstein Fallout
Starmer maintains leadership despite resignations and police probe into Mandelson, whose Epstein links sparked crisis and calls for resignation within Labour, with key ministers backing him.
- On Sunday, Morgan McSweeney, Prime Minister's chief of staff, resigned and said, `I advised the prime minister to make that appointment and I take full responsibility for that advice`.
- Further context: the US Department of Justice last month released documents suggesting Peter Mandelson passed market-sensitive information, and UK police searched two of his properties last week.
- Another senior aide, Tim Allan, quit on Monday as communications director, saying he would stand down to allow a new No. 10 and issued a brief statement.
- Keir Starmer was fighting to salvage his premiership on Monday after key advisers resigned and Anas Sarwar called for him to step down ahead of local elections in May.
- The scandal's scale has national implications as the Mandelson revelations dominate media, threaten Starmer's premiership 19 months after Labour's landslide last year, and boost Reform UK while senior government figures prepare documents.
