Keir Starmer Apologises To Epstein Victims For Believing Peter Mandelson’s ‘Lies’

Keir Starmer has issued an apology to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein for having believed the ‘lies’ of the paedophile’s buddy Peter Mandelson before appointing him as ambassador to the US.

It was pretty stupid to bring Mandelson back into the fold even before all the recent Epstein leaks, given everyone already knew that he was friends with the late paedo financier.

And so the Prime Minister has now made a rod for his own back, falling under increasing pressure from not only the public and his political rivals, but also his own MPs.

At yesterday’s PMQs, Sir Keir revealed he knew the relationship between Epstein and Mandelson continued beyond Epstein’s conviction on child sex offences when Mandelson was hired last year.

So then why on Earth was he given a government position under Starmer’s Labour government?

Speaking in East Sussex today, Starmer said: ‘The victims of Epstein have lived with trauma that most of us can barely comprehend, and they’ve had to live it again and again.

‘They have seen accountability delayed and too often denied.

‘To them, I want to say this: I am sorry. Sorry for what was done to you. Sorry that so many people with power failed you. Sorry for having believed Mandelson’s lies and appointed him.

‘Sorry that even now, you’re forced to watch this story unfold in public once again.’

The PM explained that Mandelson was hired after he told the vetting team a series of lies and ‘portrayed Epstein as someone he barely knew.’ Apparently they (and Starmer) just gobbled it up?

The PM said: ‘When that became clear and it was not true, I sacked him. Such deceit is incompatible with public service.’

The guy’s constantly apologising and U-turning, isn’t he? Actually amazing that he’s managed to remain in office up to this point. Does anyone actually expect him to make it to the next General Election in 2029? Wouldn’t bank on it.
