British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was forced to admit in Parliament that he was previously made aware of disgraced former Ambassador Peter Mandelson’s relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Starmer, who is attempting to distance himself and the Labour government from the former ambassador and Labour titan, appeared for Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday in the House of Commons, where he was grilled mercilessly by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch.
