British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday sacked his Ambassador to the US, Lord Peter Mandelson, over scandalous emails linking him to convicted American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In a statement in the House of Commons, Foreign Office Minister Stephen Doughty said the decision was taken after emails showed the “depth and extent” of the controversial Labour politician's relationship with Epstein, who died in a prison six years ago.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
