British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is on shaky ground over his handling of his former US ambassador's links to Jeffrey Epstein

It's been alleged Lord Peter Mandelson handed over sensitive government information to the late child sex offender while a minister under Gordon Brown's Government.

Met Police are searching two London properties linked to the former MP.

BBC Correspondent Nick Eardley says a lot of Labor MP's are unhappy.

He says when Mandelson got the job as US ambassador, it was known he had links with Jeffrey Epstein, including after Epstein's initial conviction.
