Sir Keir Starmer has come under fire after Lord Mandelson resigned his Labour membership to avoid causing it “further embarrassment” following further revelations about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein The Tories called for a “full and thorough independent investigation” into his appointment as US ambassador.

A Conservative Party spokesman said: “Lord Mandelson is completely disgraced. Yet Keir Starmer lacked the backbone to take action, allowing Mandelson to resign from the Labour Party instead of kicking him out. Keir Starmer and his Chief of Staff appointed Mandelson Ambassador despite his relationship with Epstein, and then refused to act even as the mountain of evidence against him grew. Given the Prime Minister’s appalling lack of judgment and the participation of his Downing Street operation, there must now be a full and thorough independent investigation.”
