It shouldn't just be Morgan McSweeney resigning over Peter Mandelson. Keir Starmer is the Prime Minister. He took the decision to appoint Mandelson as Ambassador - and his friendship with Epstein was a matter of public record.

The announcement of a police investigation into the Mandelson scandal is welcome. But it should not distract us from asking why Mandelson was ever appointed as ambassador in the first place. Keir Starmer, and his Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney, have serious questions to answer.

Someone needs to take responsibility for the appointment of Lord Mandelson as ambassador. The Prime Minister is hiding behind others whilst his government sinks in sleaze. It’s time for Keir Starmer to come clean on the Mandelson-Epstein files.

The Epstein files and Mandelson scandal should bring down Keir Starmer. Without Morgan McSweeney, Starmer wouldn't be Prime Minister. Without Mandelson, McSweeney wouldn't be Starmer's advisor. Without Epstein's, Mandelson wouldn't be so influential. Ergo, there is no Starmer without Epstein. Hence why Starmer appointed Mandelson as US Ambassador, despite knowing his friendship with Epstein, and why Starmer refuses to sacrifice McSweeney to buy his tenure in Downing Street more time. Starmer is cooked. I covered the known extent of Epstein and Mandelson's influence over Starmer last night, on stream.
