To explain all of these latest developments and why they threaten the very fragile leadership of the British Prime Minister is journalist Juliet Reidon.
Juliette, thanks so much for joining us.
Please tell us who is Peter Mandelson?
And Juliette, these are pretty serious allegations regarding his alleged relationship or connections with Jeffrey Epstein.
The Metropolitan Police opened an investigation into these allegations and he was later arrested on the suspicion of misconduct in public office with serious allegations that he passed on sensitive government information to Jeffrey Epstein.
How serious are these latest developments?
Because rightfully so, Juliet, you mentioned Sir Keir Starmer's leadership was already in question after the previous allegations with saying all of his history with Peter Mandelson, why would you give him one of these most powerful leaders?
positions as ambassador to the US, but now these new revelations that he wasn't aware of the security clearance and the fact that he did not pass it.
Surely this has to bring into question not only his leadership as prime minister, but his judgment.
Juliette, in regards to, and it's important to note yet again, that Mr. Mandelson is denying all of these allegations, but in the situation where if you look about it, he was an incredibly powerful figure within UK politics.
He lands this extraordinarily powerful job as the ambassador.
There's these very serious allegations.
Do you think this points to the fact of, from a bigger point of view, about the tentacles of,
that allegedly went right across the world linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
And Juliette, in regards to these latest developments, how shaky do you think the ground is that the current British Prime Minister is walking on right now?
Surely the sharks are starting to circle.
We will continue to watch with great interest, Juliet.
Thank you so much for your time.
Pleasure.
That was journalist Juliet Reardon.
