Being US ambassador 'privilege of my life', Mandelson says, after being sacked over Epstein emails
10 September 2025

Summary

Peter Mandelson says being the UK's ambassador to the US has been the "privilege of my life", after he was sacked by Keir Starmer

He was fired over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, with the Foreign Office saying "additional information" had come to light in emails between the two men

The statement says the extent of the pair's relationship is "materially different from that known at the time of his appointment", while Downing Street says Starmer found the emails "reprehensible"

James Roscoe, deputy head of mission at the British Embassy in Washington, has been named as Mandelson's interim replacement

Starmer had said on Wednesday "I have confidence in him" - the BBC's Henry Zeffman says the question of what the PM knew and when is not going away
