UK FIRES Ambassador To The U.S. Over Links To Jeffrey Epstein

I guess it wasn’t a conspiracy after all that high-level officials around the world were connected to Jeffrey Epstein.

In a move expected by many in the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Keir Starmer fired Ambassador to the U.S. Peter Mandelson over his links to Jeffrey Epstein.

Mandelson’s firing comes after emails and letters were released showing he had a close relationship with Epstein in the 2000s and carried on his friendship with Epstein even after he was a convicted pedophile.

The Associated Press broke the story on Mandelson’s firing:

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday fired the country’s ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, over his links to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In a statement in the House of Commons on Thursday, Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty said the decision came in the wake of the publication this week of emails Mandelson sent to Epstein in the 2000s, in which he gave his support to the disgraced financier even when he was facing jail for sex offenses.

Doughty said the emails showed that the “depth and extent” of Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein was “materially different” from what was known when he was appointed ambassador to Washington last year in the wake of the Labour Party’s election victory.

Mandelson, who took up his post in February this year after what the government described as an “extensive” vetting process, has voiced his deep regret over his previous links with Epstein and said he knew nothing about his criminal activities.

“In light of the additional information in the emails written by Peter Mandelson, the prime minister has asked the foreign secretary to withdraw him as ambassador to the United States,” Doughty said.

We knew it was coming after Keir Starmer said he had "full confidence" in him yesterday.

Another humiliation for this disastrous government.

So what did Mandelson write in the emails and letters?

CBS reported on the contents of the letter:

British Prime Minster Keir Starmer has fired his ambassador to the United States, long-time Labour Party politician Peter Mandelson, after days of revelations about Mandelson’s years-long friendship with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“In light of the additional information in emails written by Peter Mandelson, the Prime Minister has asked the Foreign Secretary to withdraw him as Ambassador,” the British government said in a statement released Thursday.

“The emails show that the depth and extent of Peter Mandelson’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is materially different from that known at the time of his appointment. In particular Peter Mandelson’s suggestion that Jeffrey Epstein’s first conviction was wrongful and should be challenged is new information. In light of that, and mindful of the victims of Epstein’s crimes he has been withdrawn as Ambassador with immediate effect.”

Pressure began mounting on the U.K. government to take action when messages written by Mandelson,were released by the House Oversight Committee earlier this month as part of a redacted 2003 “birthday book” for Epstein.

They included a series of short notes accompanied by photos.

“Once upon a time, an intelligent, sharp-witted man they call ‘mysterious’ parachuted into my life,” Mandelson wrote. “You would spend many hours just waiting for him to turn up… and often, no sooner were you getting used to having him around, you would suddenly be alone… again…”

With a photo of Mandelson setting a table alongside two women, whose faces were obscured, he wrote: “Leaving you with some ‘interesting’ friends to entertain instead.”

Mandleson wrote that Epstein was known for “taking you by surprise… in one of his glorious homes he likes to share with his friends (yum yum),” and that “whenever he is in the world, he remains my best pal!”
