Sir Keir Starmer says he is “angry” with Peter Mandelson for not revealing the full extent of his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein before he was appointed the UK ambassador to the US.

Lord Mandelson was sacked from his role as UK ambassador to the US after leaked emails showed him offering support for Epstein even after a sex offence conviction.
