Keir Starmer “ignored a string of warnings” about Peter Mandelson, says the Daily Mail, and Labour MPs have described his handling of the episode as “a shambles”. Downing Street was “aware” of Mandelson's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein but “chose to override the concerns”, says The Telegraph.
The “weak” PM is “under fire”, says the Daily Express. Starmer is “facing wrath of Labour”, agrees The i Paper, while Mandelson is “home in disgrace”, says The Mirror.
Meanwhile, The Sun has a photo of a “person of interest” in the assassination of US activist Charlie Kirk, with the headline “Face of evil”.
