Senior British government ministers rallied around Prime Minister
Keir Starmer on Monday amid intensifying pressure on him to resign
over his decision to make Peter Mandelson the ambassador to the
United States, despite Mr. MandelsonrCOs close ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Members of Mr. StarmerrCOs cabinet quickly voiced their support for
the prime minister in an attempt to stabilize his position, after
the leader of the Scottish Labour party, Anas Sarwar, became the
most senior figure in Mr. StarmerrCOs Labour movement to call on
him to quit.
