Description: Keir Starmer has seen off a challenge to his leadership after facing calls for his resignation over the appointment of Labour powerbroker Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US. A man who enjoyed a close relationship to Jeffrey Epstein. Monday’s win could prove to provide only a temporary respite for the unpopular UK prime minister, as his critics continue to question his judgement and authority. Guardian Australia’s UK/US site editor Jonathan Yerushalmy speaks to Reged Ahmad about how the events of the week unfolded, whether Starmer can hold on to power and how the Epstein files have rocked British politics.
