Sir Keir Starmer has apologised to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein for believing Lord Mandelson's "lies" and appointing him as the UK's ambassador to the US.
The prime minister began a planned speech on funding to improve local communities by addressing the growing anger over how he had dealt with the issue.
While he acknowledged it had been publicly known for some time that Lord Mandelson knew Epstein, he said: "None of us knew the depths and the darkness of that relationship".
However, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said the PM's position was "untenable", while the Liberal Democrats called for a confidence vote to see if Labour MPs supported him.
A number of Labour MPs have publicly criticised Lord Mandelson's appointment and the government's initial reluctance to release all the documents related to the decision, with some questioning whether he can survive as PM.
Following a backlash, the government has agreed that sensitive documents which could damage national security or diplomatic relations will by passed to Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee to decide if they can be published, rather than being witheld.
Directly addressing Epstein's victims, Sir Keir said: "I am sorry, sorry for what was done to you, sorry that so many people with power failed you. Sorry for having believed Mandelson's lies and appointed him and sorry that even now you're forced to watch this story unfold in public once again.

Did he apologize yet to the Pakistani rape victims?
Starmer fits in with the left’s two prime mottos:
Motto 1: Everything we touch turns to s**t.
Motto 2: Our only standard is the double standard.
Leftist not so secret Number 1: Got any kids you don’t want? If we can’t use them the Muslims will. We have an exchange program with them.
It’s a shame Starmer did not have a crack intelligence service available that could quickly vet Mandelson.
Oh, wait. Starmer did have such an intelligence service. Maybe he called them, but the line was busy. Or maybe Starmer is just typical Euro-trash.
He’ll be gone within a week. The Labour party is uniting around getting rid of him.
> He’ll be gone within a week. <
My fearless prediction: Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss - just a bit more media-savvy.
Kweir Stormtrooper is Labour, I.e., socialist, so by definition he doesn’t care and therefore doesn’t mean any of it. This is just political optics for Stormtrooper’s own survival.
The Iranians call him Keir (his name), which means p*nis in Farsi.
Too bad. I was hoping he would stick around as the face of Labour through the 2029 election... unless that one is cancelled too, like so many of the local elections.
Glad to see not every country is claiming there’s nothing to see here, and no one who should be held accountable, like our DOJ and FBI...
He’s like Dr. Evil only gayer.
Kweir threw Mandelson under the bus HARD.
+1
The globalhomo is toast Only
reform is the way now
BTW that Lord was a global homo that loved aping tiny boys. Only monsters support that like they do with Z
Except the new boss will be a black Muslim tranny immigrant.
