    The real shocker is that he hadn’t already done this, or been forced to do this, until the FBI renewed our awareness of their connection.

  2. Was a labour supporter until they kept Mandelson on to the dying end. What were they thinking would happen?

    He should have been chopped a long time ago. Think the same of the royal family, scrap them all as there’s no chance they didn’t know more about Andrew than we all do now.

    I’ll be voting green I guess unless another new centre/left party is up and running.

    On the plus side the greens actually are advocating for drug legalisation, whilst Starmer makes jokes about them for doing so. Don’t partake myself but I know how stupid the current stance is.

    Labour in the last week have just self annihilated.

    It is all well and good but what about the American Elites? All we see is Andrew and Mandy.

    Another monster…. pardon me, honorable member of the House of Lords!!

    Stir from your slumbers!!

  5. Starmer saying Andrew MW should testify, but didn’t bother kicking Mandelson out of the Labour Party.

    Mandelson supposed to have received $75K and his husband $10K as ‘gifts’. Was that while Mandelson held Government positions?

  6. Why can’t he just apologise and tell the truth. He’s acting like he can come back and play a front line role in politics at some stage by not really admitting to anything.

  7. If his peerage was granted, then it should be taken away. There is no reason for him to be a representative of our system of law and governance.

  8. Mandelson’s longevity in the Labour Party was very strange. Anyone else with similar links would have been ejected a long time ago. And it’s not as if his links with Epstein are a recent development. They were known for years. I wonder what leverage he had, if any.

    Come on, grown-up politics, he’s done the decent thing, time to move on

    [He is still in the House of Lords]

    Imagine not being able to recall whether or not you had received multiple payments of $75k.

  11. Doing a runner before he’s mandated to testify. He’ll be off to a country with no-extradition treaties I’d wager.

    Running scared you might say.

  12. *In his letter to Labour’s general secretary, Lord Mandelson said: “I have been further linked this weekend to the understandable furore surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and I feel regretful and sorry about this.”*

    Yes, because you were caught. Where was your conscience before I wonder?

    Labour are a joke 14 years and they screw the whole thing up. 14 year to have a real plan. Literally handed the next election to Reform on a plate.

    This man is an absolute fucking ghoul. I hope justice is served to him and I never have to think about him again.

    This shady piece of shit has come back more times than The Master in Doctor Who. I guarantee this won’t be the final nail for his party political career.

    “I don’t recall them, but these payments need further investigation by me”

    Bro come on. This shit doesn’t work on us
