The scandal stems from Starmer's 2024 appointment of Peter Mandelson as UK ambassador to the US, despite his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, which Mandelson downplayed even after Epstein's 2008 conviction.

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar demanded Starmer step down ahead of elections, while his cabinet—including David Lammy and Rachel Reeves—rallied behind him, pointing to economic gains and falling NHS waiting lists as Starmer heads into a key 6 p.m. party meeting.
