In a statement in the House of Commons on Thursday, Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty said the decision came in the wake of the publication this week of emails Mandelson sent to Epstein in the 2000s, in which he gave his support to the disgraced financier even when he was facing jail for sex offenses.
Doughty said the emails showed that the “depth and extent” of Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein was “materially different” from what was known when he was appointed ambassador to Washington last year after the Labour Party’s election victory.
Mandelson had corruption problems back in the Blair/Brown days too. He’s a slimy middleman who thought it his job to keep Labour aligned with corporate interests. It was unfortunate that Starmer thought it a good idea to give him a job.
Hopefully this time he’ll fuck off and keep his head down.
You mean go to prison
As an American, I look forward when Mr Doughty will immediately get a fast pass into US politics and join the Trump Administration.
As an American, I look forward to when Americans fire Mr Trump after publication of supportive “shared secrets” to Jeffrey Epstein and illegal placement of Ghislane Maxwell into a country club prison
