In other news and just a thought; what did the then Business Secretary and a senior British trade envoy have to do with each other?

No evidence that Epstein secured boys for gay men so what was Mandelson up to at these parties? Star fucking with the wealthy and powerful I guess.
As O'Brien pointed out this morning, how do you get your head around accepting party invites from Epstein even after he was convicted of pimping kids? Even if you're Joe Nobody.

I think you might see some attempt at a “reformation” from within Labour. A sort of reckoning for “New Labour” for want of a better phrase. Starmer of course is significantly different to New Labour in terms of labour market, housing, industrial policy, nationalisation, and is raising a lot more in tax.
But it might not save him. His judgement with Mandelson was called out by lots of us at the time. But I’ll take that over someone pissing about with borrowing costs and defence.

Suppose one good thing is we won’t see him sticking his oar in on Trump again.
We know who is in those files and we can probably guess a fair bit, thankfully Darling seemed to hold firm. This will explode via a wiki leaks type thing and I really do think Andrew, Fergie and Mandleson will appear small in comparison.
