  1. Let’s not forget that Louise Haigh was fired for a (relatively minor) phone fraud case 10 years ago. If Mandelson survives this it only shows that Starmer’s ethics test does not apply to Blairites.

    Mandelson’s email to Epstein:

    > “I think the world of you and I feel hopeless and furious about what has happened.
    >
    > “I can still barely understand it. It just could not happen in Britain. You have to be incredibly resilient, fight for early release and be philosophical about it as much as you can.”
    >
    > “Everything can be turned into an opportunity and that you will come through it and be stronger for it.
    >
    > “The whole thing has been years of torture and now you have to show the world how big a person you are, and how strong.”
    >
    > “Reminder. You are fighting back so you need strategy, strategy, strategy. Remember the Art of War.”

    Not looking good, is it? With more leaks to come, how longer is Starmer going to stand by his man?

    This is quite rightly going to be unsurvivable . The only people who don’t seem to have got the memo yet are Keir and Peter.

    Everyone seems to know Epstein, nobody will dare claim to know each other; but they no doubt do.

  5. Given the affiliations of the current occupant of the White House, maybe Mandelson was the right choice for Ambassador…

  6. Starmers landed himself right in it now.

    His reaction to this has been woeful, he did so badly in PMQs earlier he made Kemi look good! fucking Kemi Badenoch looked better ! thats like fucking at sea level for getting over the bar.

    Starmer either fires him or he is as good as handing his own resignation notice.

    What’s hilarious is that Starmer is standing behind him. He has no political common sense.

  8. Starmer is fucked either way, and it’s all his own doing.

    It was public knowledge that ‘Petey’ continued his friendship with Epstein *after* his conviction.

    Starmer knew this and hired him anyway.

    He can’t turn around and sack him for something everyone knew about in the first place.

    Today’s ‘revelations’ change nothing.

    I’m convinced that Starmer had sent him to Washington precisely because he’s a nonce. Or nonce-adjacent. Or nonce-appeasing. Or all of those.

    “The only thing better than this would be the sound of Peter Mandleson being attacked by bears”

  11. It’s almost like rich powerful pedophiles hypnotise and attract other rich powerful people to endorse or become involved in their affairs.

  12. I suspect Epstein had dirt on numerous pedo scum individuals (it has been said that he had many secretly filmed during their ‘experiences’) so it would not surprise me if these were later used to blackmail those that he could. Each of the scumbags kissed Epstein arse in the hope that they would never be named/blackmailed later is my opinion.
