Starmer’s premiership is all but over.

The stain of a Jeffrey Epstein association is nearly impossible to wash away, and in the case of former British ambassador to the US, Lord Peter Mandelson, the disgraceful status is even transferable to third parties, like Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Starmer insisted on appointing Mandelson to the ambassadorship, even after he flunked the vetting process.

With the release by the US DOJ of the ‘Epstein files’, Mandelson fell in flames, was even arrested, and is now under investigation over suspicion of gross misconduct in public office.

As for Starmer, he is devoting all his energy – Britain be damned – to maintain his grip on power.

But at this point, even Cabinet ministers have turned on Starmer over his mishandling of the Mandelson crisis.

He is now facing a ‘rebellion’ from even his closest allies, including Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

The Telegraph reported:

“Senior government sources told The Telegraph that the ‘wheels have stopped turning’ in No 10 and ‘there is a sense that it’s over now’.

A minister who has publicly supported Sir Keir said their colleagues were ‘furious’ about the Mandelson saga and the open briefing war between Downing Street and the Foreign Office.

Several of Sir Keir’s ministers, including Ms. Reeves, Shabana Mahmood, Wes Streeting and David Lammy, accused the Prime Minister of creating a ‘them and us’ split between ministers and officials in Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting.”

Labour MPs are now skeptical over whether Starmer can survive the expected defeat in next month’s local elections, in which they are expected to lose hundreds of council seats in England and control of the Parliament in Wales.

“A senior government source said: ‘The wheels have stopped turning. The question is no longer whether things can go on. It’s a question of when people move’. They said the two names under discussion to replace Sir Keir were ‘always Wes [Streeting] and [Angela Rayner]”, but there was debate about ‘who would move first’, adding: ‘There is a sense that it’s over now’.”
