The political future of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under threat amid a scandal surrounding the appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the United States. His tenure may end soon, and his chances of retaining his position are estimated at 50\/50.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by Bloomberg<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Journalists note that the situation has been exacerbated by the appointment of Peter Mandelson, who was previously linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Against the backdrop of this scandal, the head of the British Prime Minister’s administration, Morgan McSweeney, has already resigned.<\/p>\n

According to sources close to the UK Labour Party, some cabinet ministers are considering asking Keir Starmer to resign on his own. If he refuses, they could initiate a corresponding decision on their own.<\/p>\n

“Because McSweeney has been a lightning rod for the controversy surrounding the prime minister for so long, Starmer will also be left without protection at a time when the scandal surrounding Mandelson may not be over yet. Members of Parliament recently secured the publication of documents regarding the review of this diplomatic appointment. These materials have not yet been published,” Bloomberg journalists note.<\/p>\n

Journalists also report that Keir Starmer has been considering for several days whether to continue working without Morgan McSweeney. At the same time, dissatisfied members of the government are demanding changes in leadership.<\/p>\n

Potential candidates for the post of prime minister include Health Minister Wes Streeting and former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner.<\/p>\n

Journalists note that Starmer plans to strengthen his position by inviting representatives of the party’s left wing to the cabinet, in particular Angela Rayner, and also promoting Energy Minister Ed Miliband, who previously led the party.<\/p>\n

At the same time, there are doubts about Angela Rayner’s willingness to agree to cooperate, as she is also being considered as a potential candidate for the position of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Recall that in the array of about 3 million pages of documents related to financier Jeffrey Epstein, the name of US President Donald Trump is mentioned more than 38,000 times<\/a> in more than 5,300 files. At the same time, the materials do not contain data on possible violations on his part.<\/p>\n
