Released documents show Mandelson's 'never regret' pledge on U.S. ambassador role proved wrong; questions linger for Starmer
By
The Associated Press
Summary
More than 1,500 pages of documents released by the British government reveal that Peter Mandelson assured officials they would "never regret" appointing him as U.K. ambassador to the U.S., a pledge that proved wrong within months. The files, released to comply with lawmakers' demands, shed new light on the contentious decision to appoint Mandelson—a friend of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein—as envoy to Washington at the start of Trump's second term. The documents heap further embarrassment on the beleaguered government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, though many questions about the appointment remain unanswered.
