Starmer defended Mandelson after officials knew about Epstein emails, BBC understands

According to the BBC, sources have revealed that Sir Keir Starmer defended Lord Mandelson at Prime Minister's Questions, even though officials were aware of new emails between Mandelson and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The report states that the Prime Minister was not informed about the existence of these emails when Starmer, the leader of the opposition, publicly supported Mandelson. The BBC understands that the government was aware of the emails, but the Prime Minister was not made aware of them at the time. The article suggests that this new information raises questions about the transparency and communication within the government regarding the Mandelson-Epstein connection. It highlights the potential discrepancy between what officials knew and what the Prime Minister was informed about when Starmer defended Mandelson in Parliament.
