This is where Starmer needs to get ahead of Olukemi and Derry Street pronto and see if there's a case now for a criminal prosecution - because Labour's enemies are sharpening their knives.

Starmer has, to his credit, already suggested he loses his peerage but I suspect a LOT of damage has been done.

Emails released by the US government suggest that Lord Mandelson gave Epstein advance notice of a €500bn bailout from the EU to save the Euro.

In the early hours of 10 May 2010 EU finance ministers agreed the deal amid concerns that a debt crisis in the Greek economy could spread to the wider Eurozone.

The evening before the announcement, Epstein emailed Mandelson to say: "sources tell me 500 b euro bailout , almost complete".

The released documents indicate that Mandelson, who was business secretary and de facto deputy prime minister, replied: "Sd be announced tonight."

Epstein then asked if Mandelson was home and received a reply, saying: "Just leaving No10..will call ".

Can it get any worse?

I wonder whether Mandy thought he’d be secure in his new ambassadorial job because he thought that Trump would never release the evidence from the Epstein files ? I’m guessing he did. Hubris.

This. Is. Fucking. Appalling. Prosecute.

Well Reform and the SNP seem to think it's worth so...

Mandelson reported to police by SNP and Reform after files suggest he sent government information to Epstein

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/clynp40ekrdt

...I'd suggest both parties (especially Reform) must be thinking that any other salacious details from any other released Epstein files won't affect them, otherwise there'd be a shitshow.

I think this is going to be very hard to prosecute, sadly. He’ll just say his sources were unrelated to anything he heard in Government. He was an ex-EU Commissioner. How does anyone prove that this was Government information?

I say sadly because this is going to look like a massive cover up if he’s not prosecuted. And it’ll look even worse for Starmer that he’s the ex-DPP.
