Morgan McSweeney, director of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office, announced on Sunday his resignation from his position, as he "advised" the Prime Minister to appoint Peter Mandelson as the UK ambassador to Washington, despite his links to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex crimes. McSweeney said in a written statement to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC): “After careful consideration, I have decided to resign from the government. The appointment of Peter Mandelson was a mistake (...) After I was asked my opinion, I advised the Prime Minister to initiate this appointment, and I bear full responsibility for this advice.”
