[Police say they are searching two properties
linked to Peter Mandelson over Epstein investigation]

[Mandelson was accused of passing
sensitive government information to
US financier and convicted sex offender
Jeffrey Epstein while a minister in
Gordon Brown's government.

The allegations followed the publication
of millions of files related to Epstein last Friday.]



He needs his own thread now

Oh deary what a fall from grace...yet again

you know what stinks about this, is that on paper Mandy should have been an allie for young girls but I guess self interest was more his thing

[GiRTh]

I was genuinely surprised when Peter Mandelsohn was brought back, and the way it all ended was actually pretty poignant. For someone who always seemed to land on his feet no matter what, that final chapter felt like the curtain finally coming down. Good riddance to bad rubbish, honestly — that whole era should’ve stayed in the past.

this is obscene ..........


A pay-off given to Lord Mandelson after he was sacked as ambassador to the US is being reviewed, UK Foreign Office sources have told the BBC.

The review was instigated after fresh details emerged about the peer's contact with Jeffrey Epstein and a separate police investigation was initiated in the UK, they said.

Police searched two homes linked to Lord Mandelson on Friday after the latest release of files relating to Epstein indicated email exchanges about fiscal policy. Lord Mandelson has not been arrested.

The Labour peer is thought to have been given a pay-off of up to £55,000 after he was sacked as the UK's ambassador to the US in September over his links with the late convicted sex offender.

Government sources confirmed that the Foreign Office reached a financial settlement with Lord Mandelson, but have not said how much this was for.

However, he is believed to have been given an exit payment equivalent to three months' salary, or up to £55,000, the Times reports, external.

you are reading it correctly. This is why Starmer didn't want the details coming out. Can he survive this latest twist? I think his odds of going are now odds on
