“Starmer’s chances of staying in office until the end of the week are estimated as equal – 50 to 50.”, — write: www.unian.ua
Starmer was on the verge of resignation because of the Epstein case / photo UNIANAgainst the backdrop of the appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the United States, the political future of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is in jeopardy. Bloomberg writes about this, recalling Mandelson’s former relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
The publication notes that Morgan McSweeney, the head of the British Prime Minister’s administration, resigned on Sunday against the background of this scandal. However, the publication talked to people close to the Labor Party of Great Britain.
Sources say that cabinet ministers plan to ask Starmer to draw up his own credentials. Or they will initiate the appropriate decision on their own. Currently, the odds that Starmer will hold on for another week are estimated at 50/50.
Starmer is said to have spent several days considering whether he could afford to continue without McSweeney. Because this loss “leaves the Prime Minister defenseless” at a time when frustrated members of the Government are demanding changes in leadership. And Health Minister Wes Streeting and former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner are being promoted as prime ministerial contenders.
“Because McSweeney has been a lightning rod for so long for the controversies that engulfed the prime minister, Starmer will also be left unprotected at a time when the Mandelson scandal may not be far from over. Members of parliament recently obtained documents to verify this diplomatic appointment. These materials have not yet been released,” Bloomberg notes.
Journalists say Starmer plans to try to strengthen his position by inviting left-wing figures such as Rainer into the cabinet and promoting people such as Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, himself a former party leader. However, there are doubts that Reiner will go for such a collaboration, since she herself can become a prime minister at the moment.
The Epstein Affair: Impact on World PoliticsEarlier, political scientist Ihor Reiterovych noted that the disclosure of Epstein’s files could become a key topic during the US congressional elections, which will be held this fall. However, in his opinion, the Republicans can try to drag out this scandal by covering it up with other information drives.
At the same time, political scientist Ihor Petrenko believes that the delay in releasing Epstein’s files angered even some Republicans. Against this background, they chose the tactic of trying to “flood” Trump’s name in the ocean of other famous names.
