As we talk Monday afternoon, you've had a couple high-profile labor figures calling for him to resign, but a lot more people in his government sticking with him, at least for now.

And then you mentioned Gordon Brown, I saw over the weekend.

He was taking several shots at Keir Starmer, which seemed unusual to me.

I want to zoom out after this, but I did want to get a quick update from you on the former Prince Andrew.

I mean, this has been going on for so long.

He's been disgraced and disgraced again so many times that a movie has been made, produced and released about his disgrace tied to Jeffrey Epstein.

And yet there was still more way to be marginalized over the past week, wasn't there?

You've paid attention to this in the US.

You've paid attention to this in the UK.

Why do you think it is that there seem to be more consequences right now, at least in Britain than in America?

That's Edward Luce, U.S.

national editor and columnist for the Financial Times.

Thanks for talking about this with us.

And just to note, Peter Mandelson has not responded to NPR's inquiries and has not commented on the apparent emails between him and Jeffrey Epstein.

Keir Starmer says he regrets appointing Mandelson as ambassador, but he's not planning to step down.

And the former Prince Andrew consistently denies all wrongdoing.
