Starmer's cabinet secretary resigns amid scandal over Epstein papers

The British Prime Minister’s cabinet secretary, Chris Wormald, resigns, as he was able to announce this Thursday after speaking with the leader of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer. His resignation, “mutual agreement”, It joins that of the British Prime Minister’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, over the Epstein scandal.

Wormald, who was appointed by Starmer in December 2024, thus becomes the cabinet secretary with the shortest tenure in the office’s history. Quite a record. “It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as a public servant for the last 35 years, and a particular distinction to lead the service as cabinet secretary,” he said in his farewell.
