London, Reuters. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Tuesday that reports that former UK Ambassador to the United States Peter Mandelson leaked sensitive government economic information to the late convicted businessman Jeffrey Epstein are a 'disgraceful affair.' His spokesperson indicated a possible breach of security protocols. Starmer's spokesperson told reporters, 'The Prime Minister expressed his extreme dismay at the information that emerged at the beginning of the week.' While chairing a meeting of his top ministerial team, Starmer reiterated that Mandelson should not remain a member of the House of Lords and that the government will cooperate with the police in any investigations they conduct.
