So what’s going on here?
It looks like our own Ambassador to Washington, the “charming” and “urbane” Peter Mandelson, was a good friend of convicted p*edophile Jeffrey Epstein, at one point describing Epstein as his “best pal”.
Business dealings with dodgy financiers, hanging out with Epstein in his dressing gown, even staying in Epstein's mansion while Epstein was in prison.
In his early political days Mandelson’s Labour HQ salary was being paid by an associate of Ghislaine Maxwell.
Not a good look for HM Ambassador to the USA, or for a Labour government that promised higher ethical standards.

"What an enlightened choice of an appropriate person to act as our Ambassador to the US. Another shrewd decision by Starmer.
Indeed!
He will get along with the president famously!"

It is fine, he distanced himself from his best pal when he realised association would be damaging, shows a remarkable intuition.
I do hope he is visiting Maxwell in prison, or at least writing to her.

At least he has said, on various occasions over many years, that one of his biggest mistakes in life in general, was being introduced to Epstein
The president only fell out with Epstein after Epstein was poaching staff!
One hell of a deflection from what Donald wrote in the book though… |

Talk about deflection, that is some heavy lifting to let Mandelson off the hook and put Trump on it...
Mandelson distanced himself from Epstein in 2025, he knew it was going to come out in 2023.... His reply to the FT being a classic caught with his fingers in the till.
Trump fell out with Epstein years before and has repeatedly said he didn't like him.

Trump was his pal too 🤷♂️
He might even have sent him a naughty birthday card 😂 |

Hey it a fake.
He never wrote it, the card I mean.
Maxwell put it in a book full of birthday messages from other well wishers, but it is a fake!
As for Peter M he has always been a little sh1t, dirty untrustworthy and a reminder of power corrupts absolutely. |

A lot of public people are attracted to the wealthy and those with contacts. Trump was amongst the Epstein contacts. He even visited Buckingham Palace, so he got access to the very top of society. I don't think it's damning on Mandelson, he seems standard amongst the wealthy. He's not had access to young women either  |

BBC reporting that Mandelson fears more may come out. Not enough to bring him down like Rayner and Tulip Siddiq.
He says "a tremendous sense of regret" over his friendship with Epstein, and a "tremendous sense of sympathy" for his victims.
He likened his association with Epstein to "an albatross around my neck", adding he felt "profoundly upset that I was taken in" by a "charismatic criminal liar".
"I regret very, very deeply indeed carrying on that association with him for far longer than I should have done."
Mandelson’s other friend billionaire Victor Dahdaleh donated thousands of pounds to Labour causes and was described as a “friend” by Lord Mandelson has was charged with bribery and money laundering over an alleged £600 million fraud.
Victor Dahdaleh was accused of being the middle man in a four-year scam to overcharge an aluminium firm controlled by the Bahraini royal family by bribing officials. After 12 years the court cases were dropped. |

If one knows the person has a conviction then yes totally unacceptable..
If the conviction for such a vile crime happens as many families sadly discover at all walks of life then that's when they have to do what's right..
Unless you have a crystal ball how do you know..
Epstein no doubt had many rich and powerful friends who might have known fully or might just have suspected..

So we're expected to believe a savvy politician like Mandelson was 'pals' with Epstein over many years yet never smelt a rat? C'mon the stretches credulity. |

I haven't said that have I?
Rich and powerful people have associated with mass murderers and the likes of Epstein for thousands of years..
That's not exactly news to anyone nor is the plain and simple fact that in all political parties there are slimy operators who care not a jot about anything other than their own ego and or financial enrichment..

How many people were happy to meet Jimmy Saville? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!
Mandleson should, however, go now. He is distracted from his task. |

"Knives seem to be out for Mandelson while the royal nonce Prince Andrew protected by the establishment "
Wait until the survivors of Epstein have completed their list. Then they can see who is due to be prosecuted. |

I don't know much about their different interactions but I'm assuming that Epstein just cultivated contacts with rich, powerful people, probably in association with Maxwell. His sexual interests are completely different from theirs and it was much more likely that it was a contact of convenience, rather than the type of good relationship that we'd be thinking of. It would probably be more surprising if there's someone rich that he's not tried to cultivate engagement with.
I'm still waiting for anything that seems in the very slightest to be even a tiny bit damning |

Well if being the 'best pal' of a notorious mass abuser doesn't make you suspicious, I have a bridge to sell you    |

I'm really surprised you are taking a defensive stance on Mandelson and Epstein.
Do you not consider it damning when Mandelson stayed at Epstein's apartment whilst Epstein was in prison for a very serious crime against a child. I wont write the detail here you can look it up.
If Mandelson's comments about Epstein being his best pal are correct, do you think he would not have been aware of Epstein's background? |

There's a certain naïvety being shown purely because he's a lefty in this thread..
Court transcripts are littered with statements of close friends and family members, wives who didn't have a clue about the vile behaviour of usually their 'life partner' in such things..
If he knew then he is damned, we don't yet know what else might come out in what has been released nor about whom..
He's probably and rightly finished in any case..

I have Mandelson's birthday message below. Mandelson also stopped at Epstein's apartment whilst Epstein was in jail for a serious sex crime with a child, I don't see how he would not have known, in my opinion.
Manedlson's birthday note to Epstein:
"Once upon a time, an intelligent, sharp-witted man they call 'mysterious' parachuted into my life. You would spend many hours just waiting for him to turn up. And often, no sooner were you getting used to having him around, you would suddenly be alone… again leaving you with some 'interesting' friends to entertain instead… [this caption is accompanied by a photo of two unidentified women].
It continues: "Or just some dogs to keep you company (he wasn't always so keen on them). But then he would parachute back in… very occasionally, taking you by surprise in some far-off places [this caption accompanied with a whiskey label with Mandelson's name on it]... or in one of his glorious homes he likes to share with his friends (yum yum). But wherever he is in the world, he remains my best pal! |

In any normal times he'd be gone by now. But to get rid of someone for being a good friend to Epstein would imply that all of Epstein's friends are paedos or connected to sex trafficking (which may or may not be true), which would imply that Trump is a paedo or connected to sex trafficking (may or may not be true), so will be interesting to see what Starmer does next.
Will also be interesting to see if Farage is critical of Mandleson, he seems to be quiet on the issue so far compared to the other party leaders (unless I've missed it). |

Because they mention trump..
Yes there's a thread about him I'm sure on this issue but in a thread where the common link is Epstein and Epstein had many friends across all the political leanings as well as big business etc to say it's deflection is simply bias..

I think it is you that is biased here buddy. The thread is about Mandelson and one of the very first posts tries to turn it into Trump, by excusing Mandelson with this "At least he has said, on various occasions over many years, that one of his biggest mistakes in life in general, was being introduced to Epstein".
That was not correct he only said he regretted his friendship in 2025. The post then went on to bring Trump into the mix as being worse than Mandelson.
Now if you think that the post I was referring to wasn't biased and I was balancing it out, you need to wobble your head. |

"The whole Epstein show was one big black*ail scam involving rich, powerful and political people from all over the world, Its the only reason no one has been charged and never will be "
Throwing Maxwell under the bus as a token inpricsonment is wearing a bit thin. I would be disappointed if there is no follow up on that birthday book, some of the passages are vulgar and point directly to an understanding of the sleazy lifestyle Epstein and his pals were having.

"There's a certain naïvety being shown purely because he's a lefty in this thread..
Court transcripts are littered with statements of close friends and family members, wives who didn't have a clue about the vile behaviour of usually their 'life partner' in such things..
If he knew then he is damned, we don't yet know what else might come out in what has been released nor about whom..
He's probably and rightly finished in any case..
I have Mandelson's birthday message below. Mandelson also stopped at Epstein's apartment whilst Epstein was in jail for a serious sex crime with a child, I don't see how he would not have known, in my opinion.
Manedlson's birthday note to Epstein:
"Once upon a time, an intelligent, sharp-witted man they call 'mysterious' parachuted into my life. You would spend many hours just waiting for him to turn up. And often, no sooner were you getting used to having him around, you would suddenly be alone… again leaving you with some 'interesting' friends to entertain instead… [this caption is accompanied by a photo of two unidentified women].
It continues: "Or just some dogs to keep you company (he wasn't always so keen on them). But then he would parachute back in… very occasionally, taking you by surprise in some far-off places [this caption accompanied with a whiskey label with Mandelson's name on it]... or in one of his glorious homes he likes to share with his friends (yum yum). But wherever he is in the world, he remains my best pal!
Thats been widely reported yes..
He's not the only one who stayed friends with Epstein or in fact who has lied about that ..
My point about bias is clearly evidenced throughout the thread..
Are you really making this about Mandelson being part of the labour party? Because I'm not seeing naivety as you have mentioned.
My point about bias is literally based upon your post above where you accuse someone of deflection..
Because they mention trump..
Yes there's a thread about him I'm sure on this issue but in a thread where the common link is Epstein and Epstein had many friends across all the political leanings as well as big business etc to say it's deflection is simply bias..
In my opinion
I think it is you that is biased here buddy. The thread is about Mandelson and one of the very first posts tries to turn it into Trump, by excusing Mandelson with this "At least he has said, on various occasions over many years, that one of his biggest mistakes in life in general, was being introduced to Epstein".
That was not correct he only said he regretted his friendship in 2025. The post then went on to bring Trump into the mix as being worse than Mandelson.
Now if you think that the post I was referring to wasn't biased and I was balancing it out, you need to wobble your head. "
Tetchy aren't you when pulled up..
If your now in the position of giving advice on head wobbling I suggest you know you have been rightly corrected but your fragile ego once again can't allow you to accept that..
Enjoy your delusion..  |

Read what I've said in here about him, he's a slimy operator..

If your basing poor judgement after what we've seen here for decades by all PMs upon their ability to use guesswork that's an interesting view..
Pretty irrelevant but interesting..

I'm Sure private emails are most likely only going one way towards whoever holds all the cards, and the circle is huge so a few may get thrown under a bus to save the skin of the rest as far too many high figures involved globally which isn't huge but massive |

"A lot of public people are attracted to the wealthy and those with contacts. Trump was amongst the Epstein contacts. He even visited Buckingham Palace, so he got access to the very top of society. I don't think it's damning on Mandelson, he seems standard amongst the wealthy. He's not had access to young women either
So having a convicted paedophile as your 'best pal' isn't damning?
If one knows the person has a conviction then yes totally unacceptable..
If the conviction for such a vile crime happens as many families sadly discover at all walks of life then that's when they have to do what's right..
Unless you have a crystal ball how do you know..
Epstein no doubt had many rich and powerful friends who might have known fully or might just have suspected..
So we're expected to believe a savvy politician like Mandelson was 'pals' with Epstein over many years yet never smelt a rat? C'mon the stretches credulity.
I don't know much about their different interactions but I'm assuming that Epstein just cultivated contacts with rich, powerful people, probably in association with Maxwell. His sexual interests are completely different from theirs and it was much more likely that it was a contact of convenience, rather than the type of good relationship that we'd be thinking of. It would probably be more surprising if there's someone rich that he's not tried to cultivate engagement with.
I'm still waiting for anything that seems in the very slightest to be even a tiny bit damning
Well if being the 'best pal' of a notorious mass abuser doesn't make you suspicious, I have a bridge to sell you "
He's drawn to money and power, like many in that set. He's not someone I admire, he's repulsive. But I assume he's in no way associated with underage women and what probably some of the men were up to.
When Trump, the Royal family and others were associated with Epstein, Mandy doesn't seem particularly unusual or keeping company with someone who wasn't fully integrated inside high society. Mandy was almost certainly not truly a best friend of the pervert but just keeping a very wealthy contact sweet. |

I'd imagine if Farage appointed someone who'd described Epstein as their best pal and had written about him in the manner of a gooey school girl, some posters might have a different tone. There is absolutely no way he can continue in post. I'm sure Mandelslime has enough on Kier to postpone the sacking until after the State visit at which point he will 'no longer wish to be a distraction'. This government is doing a superb job of making the Tories look competent and squeaky clean. |

"And he’s gone 
Not before time, but with his history it says a lot about Starmer that he was given the job in the first place.
Hopefully it will be the last we hear of this utter slime ball."
I think we will be hearing a lot more about him over the next few days, such was the extent of his friendship with Epstein. I hope he doesn't get a free pass to walk away from any wrong doing either.. |

OK. I'll live with a few more days of him, maybe even a week or two if it heaps more embarrassment on Starmer. But after that he can crawl into his hole forever. |

Reeves will probably be kept on to deliver the budget (which will be awful for all of us). Then she will be sacrificed to calm the markets.
The question is, how many more will go before then. |

It's great to see the back of Mandelson.
He's long been seen as a corrupt and corrosive right-winger by people on the left. He's commonly called the Prince of Darkness but some call him Grima Wormtongue (after the LOTR character) as he whispered in Blair's and Starmer's ears to persuade them to move to the right.
