Pat McFadden urged Labour MPs not to oust Keir Starmer over the Mandelson controversy, saying the prime minister’s 2024 appointment as US ambassador was a mistake but leadership turnover wouldn’t fix the country’s problems. The piece also notes Union pressure for a leadership refresh, ongoing scrutiny of Mandelson’s links to Epstein, calls for Mandelson to return or donate any payoff, and the Metropolitan Police investigation, with up to 100,000 Mandelson documents expected to be released.
