Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips has accused Keir Starmer of misleading the public over Peter Mandelson during a recent interview on BBC Newsnight with Matt Chorley.
Ms Phillips questioned Starmer’s transparency, stating: “You’re misleading the public. You’re saying one thing and then, when the files come out, because they didn’t anticipate the files would ever come out, you then change your story.”
Her comments come amid the Prime Minister’s insistence that he was unaware Mandelson had failed crucial security vetting when he was appointed as a cabinet minister.
Mandelson was sacked from his role as Britain’s ambassador to America back in 2025 over his association with the financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, though the politician has denied any wrongdoing.
