“Keir Starmer’s cabinet members voiced their support for the prime minister on Monday, buying him time to shore up his beleaguered premiership after the Labour Party’s leader in Scotland urged him to quit,” Bloomberg reports.
“The support from cabinet ministers came after Sarwar’s intervention and amid calls for Starmer’s resignation over his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as Britain’s ambassador to the US despite Mandelson’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.”
