Starmer ally advises Labour to support Prime Minister

One of Keir Starmer’s top allies, Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden, urged Labour colleagues to support the Prime Minister amid pressure from scandalous emails linking Lord Peter Mandelson to Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson, under investigation and previously sacked as UK ambassador to the US, has sparked calls for Starmer’s resignation, although McFadden believes stability is crucial. Starmer has since apologized to Epstein’s victims and committed to releasing documents that may implicate Mandelson further. McFadden suggested Mandelson should return his pay-off or donate it to charity, highlighting growing unrest within the party.
