Pressure grows on UK's Starmer over Epstein fallout

The Labour leader faced calls from opposition politicians to resign over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador despite knowing his links to sex offender Epstein. Starmer was due to address Labour MPs later Monday, a day after his chief of staff and longtime aide quit for advising the embattled prime minister to make the contentious appointment. Morgan McSweeney left his role on Sunday, depriving Starmer of his closest adviser and someone who has long acted as a shield for criticism of the flagging UK leader.
