Epstein’s Birthday Bash Ends UK Ambassador’s American Dream

In what reads like a royally bad party re-run, UK PM Keir Starmer gave Peter Mandelson the diplomatic equivalent of a ‘you’re fired’ after his cozy friendship with convicted Jeffrey Epstein made a scandalous encore in what Epstein called his 'birthday book.' This exposĂ© included emails where Mandelson surprisingly claimed Epstein's first conviction was 'wrongful,' showing impeccable judgment akin to defending a cat accused of breakdancing. On the guest list also shimmered notes allegedly from Donald Trump's–or a Trump impersonator’s–signature and Bill Clinton's scribbles, proving this birthday party favors 'former Presidents & suspicious pals' as its theme. Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty quickly yanked Mandelson back from ambassador duties to avoid official brochures reading 'UK diplomacy brought to you by questionable call logs.'
