British Ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson, was fired after newly released emails revealed the extent of his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The emails showed Mandelson's continued support for Epstein even after his conviction, contradicting Mandelson's previous statements. The revelation caused a major political headache for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who had initially defended Mandelson. The Foreign Office cited the 'depth and extent' of the relationship as reason for Mandelson's dismissal, emphasizing the impact on victims.
