UK’s Starmer says he and ministers not told Mandelson failed clearance in January 2025

-

LONDON, ‌April 20 (Reuters) - British ​Prime Minister Keir Starmer ⁠said on Monday foreign office officials did ​not inform him, or ‌any ministers, that they had granted security clearance ⁠to former ⁠U.S. ambassador Peter Mandelson against the vetting agency's recommendation in ‌January 2025.

Starmer apologised again ⁠to victims ‌of the ​late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and said ‌Mandelson should ​never have ⁠been appointed as ‌the UK's ⁠ambassador to the U.S., adding that his ​judgment was ‌wrong.
