## Resource

The SNP is blasting Labour over Lord Mandelson’s controversial US ambassador appointment, calling it a scandal that exposes deep rot in the party. Despite being ousted last year over ties to Epstein, Mandelson still holds titles and benefits — and newly released documents show he believed the government would regret not picking him. SNP Westminster leader Dave Doogan slammed the move as sordid and disgraceful, accusing Labour of ignoring ethics while pretending to be transparent.
