KEMI Badenoch has accused the Prime Minister of “lying” over when he knew about Peter Mandelson’s damning emails to paedophile Jerffrey Epstein.
Sir Keir stood up in PMQs in the House of Commons on Wednesday and insisted he had full confidence in Lord Mandelson as ambassador.
But the next morning – shortly after 10am – he ordered the sacking of his man in Washington.
Downing Street said the PM changed his mind after the full emails he sent to Epstein urging him to challenge his conviction were reported on Wednesday night.
A Foreign Office statement announcing the sacking said the emails showed “the depth and extent of Peter Mandelson’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is materially different from that known at the time of his appointment”.
But it has now emerged that details of the emails were sent to the Foreign Office and passed on to No10 on Tuesday – two days before the sacking.
The PM and his powerful chief of staff Morgan McSweeney are facing mounting questions over whether they knew the contents before Sir Keir backed Mandelson at PMQs.
If the PM did, then he would stand accused of misleading the House of Commons.
Kemi said: “If No10 had those emails for 48 hours before acting, it means he lied at PMQs and ministers lied again about new additional information.
“These are yet more errors of judgement.
“The Prime Minister has very serious questions to answer.
“The only way to clear this up is full transparency about who knew what, and when.”
Sir Keir is facing growing demands from his own angry backbenchers to sack Mr McSweeney over the Mandelson affair.
Meanwhile, sources said Lord Mandelson is “mad” at his brutal sacking and could be in line for a six figure payout.
