【UK Prime Minister Sunak Faces a "Coup"】
According to a report by Bloomberg, there is intense discussion within the Labour Party about the future of Prime Minister Sunak, and the trigger for this issue is the explosive content in the Epstein files. Although Sunak's name is not in the Epstein files and he has no direct connection with Epstein, his appointed US ambassador, Mandelson, had a very close relationship with Epstein.
Since the name of Epstein has become extremely notorious throughout the Western world, when the relationship between Mandelson and Epstein was exposed, it caused an uproar in the British political arena, and Sunak quickly dismissed Mandelson.
However, the situation continued to escalate, and the pressure on Sunak increased significantly, eventually forcing him to publicly apologize. The UK government also directly played the "sacrificing the chariot to save the general" game, and the head of the Prime Minister's Office, Morgan McCardle, resigned over this matter. McCardle clearly stated: he takes full responsibility for recommending Mandelson's appointment.
Nevertheless, the pressure on Sunak remained very high. Many people within the Labour Party believe that Mandelson's close relationship with Epstein severely damaged the government's reputation. Several cabinet ministers are secretly urging Sunak to resign voluntarily, otherwise he might face the embarrassing situation of being forced to step down. Bloomberg said: Sunak is currently in a very fragile political position.
It must be said that Sunak is really unlucky. He has no connection with Epstein, but he was implicated because of a personnel appointment. What's more ironic is that when announcing the appointment of Mandelson, there was widespread praise within the Labour Party, and after the UK and US reached a trade agreement, British media also gave positive reviews.
