British Prime Minister Keir Starmer sacked their ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson on Thursday Aug 11. The reason was a trove of over 100 emails obtained by Bloomberg (USA Today).

Messages between the former ambassador and Jeffrey Epstein detailed Caribbean vacations with his ex “best pal.” There where messages on the day of the alleged sex trafficker’s arrest promising a meeting with a “Mr. Big” who could help Epstein out.

Congress released hundreds of pages documents this week that included a 2003 book of 50th birthday messages to Epstein compiled by his former partner, convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. The book includes notes, many of them lewd, from high-profile politicians, financiers and socialites – including the sacked British ambassador. USA Today
