British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he takes “responsibility” for appointing Peter Mandelson as US ambassador, but insists he only became aware that Mandelson had failed security checks last Tuesday.
Starmer faced calls to resign after it became public that UK Security Vetting had advised denying clearance to the associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's associate in January 2025.
Lara Bentley reports from London.
