But thousands of pages of additional emails released as part of the latest tranche of Epstein files on Jan. 30 revealed a much closer friendship than Mr. Mandelson had acknowledged. The messages suggested that Mr. Mandelson, while in a senior government role in 2009, passed on confidential and market-sensitive information to Mr. Epstein on several occasions.Mr. Sarwar is a well-known figure within the party and, before the last general election in 2024, appeared on course to lead Labour to victory in elections to the Scottish Parliament in May. But the government\u2019s loss of popularity nationally under Mr. Starmer\u2019s leadership has damaged the Labour Party in Scotland, which now trails in the opinion polls well behind the Scottish National Party.Mr. Sarwar called Mr. Starmer \u201ca decent man,\u201d but said that the turmoil in Downing Street had become a \u201chuge distraction.\u201d He said he was not part of a plan to oust the prime minister and that there had been \u201cno coordination\u201d with others.\u201cIt\u2019s for those in No 10, those around the cabinet table and those in the U.K. Labour Party to decide what happens next,\u201d Mr. Sarwar said.Here\u2019s what else to know:Starmer aides resign: Tim Allan, Mr. Starmer\u2019s director of communications, resigned on Monday, adding to a sense of crisis for the government. Mr. Allan, a longtime friend of Mr. Mandelson\u2019s who worked with him when Tony Blair was prime minister in the 1990s, quit less than 24 hours after Morgan McSweeney stepped down as Mr. Starmer\u2019s chief of staff.Financial markets reaction: Reflecting the political uncertainty, the yield on Britain\u2019s 10-year government bonds rose 0.07 percentage points, to 4.58 percent on Monday. Investors tend to sell Britain\u2019s government bonds, pushing up borrowing costs, when there are signs of political risk. Some investors have concerns that a new Labour leader from the left of the party could loosen the government\u2019s fiscal policy and make it harder to bring down the country\u2019s heavy debt burden.Show moreFeb. 9, 2026, 10:49 a.m. ETFeb. 9, 2026Stephen CastleNow there\u2019s a significant and supportive statement from Angela Rayner, a former deputy prime minister who is seen by many as a potential successor to Keir Starmer. \u201cI urge all my colleagues to come together, remember our values and put them into practice as a team,\u201d Rayner wrote on X. \u201cThe Prime Minister has my full support in leading us to that end.\u201d ImageCredit...Ryan Jenkinson\/Getty ImagesFeb. 9, 2026, 10:28 a.m. ETFeb. 9, 2026Stephen CastleThe Scottish National Party, which hopes to win elections to Scotland\u2019s parliament in May, has portrayed Anas Sarwar\u2019s comments as a desperate effort to improve Labour\u2019s poll rating. \u201cAnas Sarwar would sell his own granny,\u201d said Kirsty Blackman, an SNP lawmaker at Westminster, in a statement. She added that Sarwar\u2019s change of view on the prime minister \u201creeks of desperation, hypocrisy and opportunism.\u201dFeb. 9, 2026, 10:25 a.m. ETFeb. 9, 2026Michael D. ShearReporting from LondonIf Keir Starmer does survive as Britain\u2019s prime minister in the short run, he faces another looming disaster if his Labour party does not win a special election in less than three weeks, to fill a seat in the Manchester area that was left empty by the recent resignation of a Labour politician. If Labour loses, Starmer is likely to be blamed for dragging his party down.Feb. 9, 2026, 10:20 a.m. ETFeb. 9, 2026Michael D. ShearReporting from LondonSenior members of Starmer\u2019s cabinet are rallying round on behalf of their boss. One question is whether it\u2019s enough to release the pressure on the prime minister for long enough to let the anger among Labour allies subside.Feb. 9, 2026, 10:16 a.m. ETFeb. 9, 2026Stephen CastleEd Miliband, a former Labour leader who is Britain\u2019s energy secretary and a popular figure on the party\u2019s center left, has offered his support for the prime minister on social media. \u201cKeir has earned the right to deliver the change he has promised and do what he cares about - which is to serve the country,\u201d Miliband wrote on X. \u201cThis is not the time for the government to turn inwards on itself. We must focus on delivering the change we promised the country.\u201dFeb. 9, 2026, 10:10 a.m. ETFeb. 9, 2026Stephen CastleAndrew Bowie, who speaks for the Conservative Party on Scottish issues in Britain\u2019s parliament, has released a statement saying that Anas Sarwar \u201chas just put one of the final nails in Starmer\u2019s political coffin.\u201d Bowie said: \u201cThe Prime Minister\u2019s credibility is shot,\u201d adding that Scottish Labour lawmakers \u201cshould put Keir Starmer out of his misery.\u201dFeb. 9, 2026, 10:01 a.m. ETFeb. 9, 2026Stephen CastleSo far there are no new statements of support from the two main contenders to take over from Starmer. They are Wes Streeting, the health secretary, and Angela Rayner, the former deputy prime minister.Feb. 9, 2026, 10:01 a.m. ETFeb. 9, 2026Stephen CastleJohn Healey, Britain\u2019s defense secretary and someone seen as a possible caretaker leader if Starmer did resign, has also voiced his loyalty to the prime minister. \u201cThe British public gave Keir a huge mandate only 18 months ago,\u201d Healey wrote on X. \u201cThey wanted a Labour government. They want us to deliver the change we promised. They expect us to get on with the job.

ShearReporting from LondonThere are many questions over what would come next and who would replace Starmer if he did resign. There are several potential rivals who could try to mount leadership bids in the hopes of becoming prime minister.Feb. 9, 2026, 9:54 a.m. ETFeb. 9, 2026Michael D. Shear and Stephen CastleImageMorgan McSweeney resigned on Sunday over his role in the appointment of Peter Mandelson, a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, as ambassador to the United States.Credit...Leon Neal\/Getty ImagesMorgan McSweeney\u2019s resignation as the chief of staff to Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain on Sunday accelerated a fast-moving scandal that now threatens to imperil the prime minister\u2019s leadership of the first Labour government in 14 years.Mr. McSweeney announced his departure under pressure after days of political upheaval over his role in the appointment of Peter Mandelson, a prominent figure in British politics and a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, as ambassador to the United States.Mr. McSweeney, a longtime prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Mr. Mandelson\u2019s and an architect of Labour\u2019s political resurgence after years of domination by the Conservative Party, said in a statement that \u201cthe decision to appoint Peter Mandelson was wrong. He has damaged our party, our country and trust in politics itself.\u201dHe added, \u201cWhen asked, I advised the prime minister to make that appointment, and I take full responsibility for that advice.\u201dMr. Starmer\u2019s allies in the Labour Party had been calling for Mr. McSweeney to depart, after emails released by the U.S. Justice Department revealed a much closer relationship than had previously been known between Mr. Mandelson and Mr. Epstein, the sex offender and disgraced financier who killed himself in prison in 2019.Since the latest Epstein files were released, some Labour allies have openly joined Mr. Starmer\u2019s adversaries in calling for him to step aside. Over the weekend, more members of Parliament called for Mr. McSweeney to take the fall, citing his closeness to Mr. Mandelson and his push to make him the ambassador.On Sunday, some analysts argued that Mr. McSweeney\u2019s resignation could dampen calls for Mr. Starmer to step down. But instead it appears to have intensified the turmoil.Mr. McSweeney, who was raised in Ireland, gained experience battling the Labour Party\u2019s left internally and Britain\u2019s far-right in municipal politics. As a top campaign aide and later a senior official at No. 10 Downing Street, he masterminded Labour\u2019s general election victory and won out in a ferocious post-election power struggle, during which his predecessor, Sue Gray, was ousted.Show moreFeb. 9, 2026, 9:53 a.m. ETFeb. 9, 2026Stephen CastleAnas Sarwar is asked about his own contacts with Peter Mandelson, who was fired from his diplomatic post in the United States in September over his links to Jeffrey Epstein.

And within around an hour of his remarks, about a dozen of the most important members of Mr. Starmer\u2019s cabinet \u2014 including his deputy prime minister, his chancellor and his foreign secretary \u2014 came to his defense with strong statements of support.John Healey, Britain\u2019s defense secretary and someone seen as a possible caretaker leader if Mr. Starmer did resign, voiced his loyalty to the prime minister.\u201cThe British public gave Keir a huge mandate only 18 months ago,\u201d Mr. Healey wrote on X. \u201cThey wanted a Labour government. They want us to deliver the change we promised. They expect us to get on with the job. The PM has my fullest support in leading this government and this country.\u201dAt least two Labour lawmakers who are considered possible challengers to Mr. Starmer\u2019s leadership also offered their support on Monday.Angela Rayner, the former deputy prime minister and a popular figure on the left of the party, urged \u201call my colleagues to come together, remember our values and put them into practice as a team,\u201d adding on X that \u201cthe Prime Minister has my full support in leading us to that end.\u201dWes Streeting, the health secretary who is viewed as another contender for the leadership, told Sky News that \u201cKeir Starmer doesn\u2019t need to resign,\u201d and urged colleagues to \u201cgive Keir a chance.\u201dMr. Sarwar is a well-known figure within the party and, before the 2024 general election, appeared to be on course to lead Labour to victory in elections to the Scottish Parliament in May. But the Labour government\u2019s loss of popularity nationally under Mr. Starmer has damaged the party in Scotland, which now trails in the opinion polls well behind the Scottish National Party.In his speech in Glasgow, Mr. Sarwar called Mr. Starmer \u201ca decent man,\u201d but said he had \u201cto be honest about failure wherever I see it.\u201d He said that he was not part of a plan to oust the prime minister and that there had been \u201cno coordination\u201d with others.\u201cIt\u2019s for those in No. 10, those around the cabinet table and those in the U.K. Labour Party to decide what happens next,\u201d Mr. Sarwar said.The back and forth over Mr. Starmer\u2019s fate came after two of his senior aides resigned, adding to the sense of turmoil in the government.On Sunday, Morgan McSweeney stepped down as the prime minister\u2019s chief of staff, after acknowledging that he had urged Mr. Starmer to appoint Mr. Mandelson to the post of ambassador to Washington in 2024.\u201cWhen asked, I advised the prime minister to make that appointment, and I take full responsibility for that advice,\u201d Mr. McSweeney said.Less than 24 hours later, Mr. Starmer\u2019s communications director, Tim Allan, a veteran political and public affairs operative who joined Mr. Starmer\u2019s government only about five months ago, also quit.Mr. Allan was a longtime friend of Mr. Mandelson\u2019s who worked with him when Tony Blair was prime minister in the 1990s. \u201cI have decided to stand down to allow a new No. 10 team to be built,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cI wish the P.M. and his team every success.\u201dMr. Starmer fired Mr. Mandelson from his diplomatic post in the United States in September, citing new information about his contacts with Mr. Epstein, a disgraced financier who had been jailed in the United States on federal sex-trafficking charges. But thousands of pages of additional emails released as part of the latest tranche of Epstein files on Jan. 30 revealed a much closer friendship than Mr. Mandelson had acknowledged.The documents appear to show that when Mr. Mandelson was a member of the government in 2009, he shared confidential and market-sensitive information with Mr. Epstein, including an internal email sent to Gordon Brown, the prime minister at the time, outlining a potential sale of government assets.\u201cInteresting note that\u2019s gone to the PM,\u201d Mr. Mandelson wrote.And in May 2010, the emails indicate, Mr. Mandelson gave Mr. Epstein advance notice that a bailout of 500 billion euros, about $600 billion, had been agreed to order to tackle the eurozone crisis. Mr. Epstein wrote, \u201cSources tell me 500 b euro bailout, almost compelte,\u201d misspelling the word complete.Mr. Mandelson replied, \u201cSd be announced tonight.\u201dMr. Mandelson also sought advice from Mr. Epstein about setting up an advisory and consultancy firm and about how to attract clients, and the emails suggest that Mr. Epstein had made tens of thousands of dollars of payments to Mr. Mandelson.Critics of Mr. Starmer have demanded information on what he knew about the relationship between the two men when he appointed Mr. Mandelson to the post. The prime minister has insisted that Mr. Mandelson lied about the extent of his ties to Mr. Epstein.Addressing his staff on Monday morning, Mr. Starmer expressed his fury at the former ambassador.\u201cThe thing that makes me most angry is the undermining of the belief that politics can be a force for good and can change lives,\u201d Mr. Starmer said in a speech to staff at 10 Downing Street, according to a readout from political aides of the closed-door speech.\u201cI have been absolutely clear that I regret the decision that I made to appoint Peter Mandelson,\u201d the prime minister added. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve apologized to the victims, which is the right thing to do.\u201dMr. Starmer also vowed to continue working to carry out the agenda of the Labour Party, which won an overwhelming parliamentary majority 18 months ago, ending more than 14 years of government by the Conservative Party. Mr. Starmer\u2019s aides told a daily briefing with journalists that the prime minister did not intend to resign.\u201cWe go forward from here,\u201d Mr. Starmer said in his speech to staff. \u201cWe go with confidence as we continue changing the country.\u201dFor the prime minister\u2019s critics in the Labour Party, however, change in the country has not come fast enough, and a change in Downing Street looks increasingly necessary.Show more",
