UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under significant political pressure and facing calls to resign. This follows revelations about connections between his close political ally, Peter Mandelson, and the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The leader of the Labour Party in Scotland has publicly called for Starmer to step down, aggravating a crisis within the party. Separately, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former associate, invoked her right to silence and refused to answer questions during a US Congressional hearing.
Starmer has stated he is not prepared to give up his position, but the situation has led to public speculation about a potential leadership challenge and who might succeed him.
