The leader of Scotland's Labour Party called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign amid revelations about the relationship between former British ambassador Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein.
The leader of the Labour Party in Scotland, Anas Sarwar, called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign Monday after revelations about the relationship between former British ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Sarwar is the most senior Labour figure to call for Starmer to quit, piling more pressure on the prime minister over his decision to appoint Mandelson to the high-profile diplomatic post.
