Starmer says unaware of security lapse when appointing Mandelson UK envoy
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Wednesday told parliament he was unaware that Peter Mandelson was flagged by security checks over his links to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein prior to his appointment as envoy to the US. The remarks came after Olly Robbins, a senior foreign ministry official who was fired last week, said that Starmer had a "dismissive attitude" towards the security vetting process.
