Keir Starmer tells Andrew to ‘testify’ over Epstein as ‘no one above the legislation’

Sir Keir Starmer has called for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to speak to authorities in both the UK and US about Jeffrey Epstein as he has a “duty to come forward”.

Andrew has been called on by US officials to speak about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and it appears the Prime Minister agrees in an interview on the BBC.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, the Prime Minister said: “Anybody who has any information should testify. So whether it’s Andrew or anybody else, anybody who has got relevant information should come forward to whatever the relevant body is, in this particular case we’re talking about Epstein, but there are plenty of other cases.

“Anybody who has got information relating to any aspect of violence against women and girls has, in my view, a duty to come forward, whoever they are.”

Starmer added: “One of the core principles in our system is that everybody is equal under the law, and nobody is above the law, and it is really important that is applied across the board.

“That is the principle. It’s a long-standing principle, it’s a very important principle of our country, our society, and it applies, and it has to apply in this case, in the same way as it would apply in any other case.”

Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.
