A cabinet minister has stated that Peter Mandelson should give back the severance pay he received after stepping down as the UK ambassador to the United States. The Foreign Office is currently reviewing the payment, which is said to be worth three months of his salary, or up to £55,000. Mandelson resigned last year after details came to light regarding his connection to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing growing pressure over the appointment. A union leader and several members of parliament are now calling for a change in leadership or for the prime minister to fire his chief of staff.
