GB News issues breaking news as Keir Starmer faces | UK News

GB News was halted for breaking news as the programme’s political editor, Christopher Hope, delivered contemporary headlines from Westminster Hall. The newsreader revealed: “Bell Ribeiro-Addy, who is standing to be the Labour leader of the Labour Party, has said there should be an investigation into Peter Mandelson and his link to Jeffrey Epstein.” This comes after it was revealed that Lord Mandelson, who is Britain’s ambassador to Washington, had ties to his “best pal,” convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Their connection was made public in recordsdata launched by a US congressional committee, which revealed that Mandelson options in a fiftieth birthday e-book for Epstein. The e-book was compiled by the late financier’s ex-girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is at present in prison for her function in recruiting and trafficking minors for intercourse.

Speaking on Ribeiro-Addy’s call for an investigation, the broadcaster continued: “She says this to The i Newspaper, ’there should definitely be an investigation into it because there will be a huge amount of concern and if the outcome is that he should resign, he should.’” This comes as a major blow to Prime Minister Keir Starmer as he publicly threw his help behind Mandelson and credited him for enjoying “a key part” in strengthening UK-US relations under President Donald Trump.

Hope reported: “That’s the first time we have a Labour MP breaking the ranks against Peter Mandelson. Peter Mandelson, of course, was a senior politician back in the Tony Blair and Gordon Brown government.

“He was brought back in as the UK ambassador, he’s done very well I think, you have to say that in terms of getting closer to Donald Trump.”

Addressing the images launched of Mandelson and Epstein, the newsreader continued: “These images, overnight, released by the democrats in Washington, of him in a towelling robe speaking to Jeffrey Epstein.”

He added: “We knew there was a relationship between Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein but it seems to go much deeper frankly and much more personal and that is why its so damaging.”

In the 2003 handwritten be aware addressed to the disgraced financier, the ambassador penned: “Wherever he is in the world, he remains my best pal!”

The e-book, which contained many different contributors, was compiled by Maxwell three years before allegations of inappropriate abuse of minors by Epstein turned public.

However, in May, when questioned about their relationship, Mandelson told Gossip Wire News: “My information of him is one thing that I remorse. I want I’d never met him in the first place.”

On Tuesday, the Prime Minister’s official spokesperson launched a assertion studying: “We are focused on our relationship with the US and President Trump going forward, with the unprecedented second state visit next week to build on the progress we have already made between our governments.”
