UK premier Keir Starmer insisted he would not “walk away” on Monday after a prominent ally demanded the prime minister quit for embroiling the British government in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar called on Starmer to resign for appointing Peter Mandelson as US ambassador despite knowing he had maintained links to Epstein. But even as senior ministers rally around the beleaguered PM, it was clear Starmer is “clinging on by his teeth”, says France 24’s Philip Turle.
