Video: Starmer blames ‘time lag’ in US for his PMQs statement of confidence in Mandelson

Keir Starmer has claimed that a ‘time lag’ in the US meant that he didn’t know about Peter Mandelson’s extreme closeness to serial child-rapist Jeffrey Epstein when he gave a statement during Prime Ministers Questions (PMQs) last week expressing his confidence in Mandelson, who is one of his closest advisors and was at the time UK ambassador to the US. Mandelson was ‘withdrawn’ the next day but remains on the government payroll.

Starmer and Mandelson: the scandal continues

Starmer’s office was warned – in the UK time continuum – more than twenty-four hours before his statement about the impending exposure of Mandelson’s gushing emails and notes to the Israeli asset paedophile, so he’s either a bare-faced (and incompetent) liar or needs to sack some Downing Street cronies. And either way, he clearly thinks we’re all fools:

In fact, Starmer (like everyone else) knew about Mandelson’s friendship with Epstein long before he ever appointed him either as a senior Number 10 adviser or as ambassador. This didn’t stop him, allegedly, screaming at his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney that “You’re supposed to be protecting me!”

As union activist Howard Beckett said:

Starmer is running out of lies.
