- Some interesting reporting in the New Statesman. There was a shortlist of four to be UK Ambassador to the US. Starmer favoured George Osborne. It was Morgan McSweeney who pushed for Mandelson.
- One of the things about Mandelson and others mentioned in the Epstein Files is how untouchable they all believed themselves to be to commit so much damaging material to email.Feb 4, 2026 13:00
- Mandelson had deep links to Russia, just like Epstein.
- Anyone in a professional role has surely been briefed about the use of email? Never commit to writing something you wouldn't want to see in a newspaper. Utterly unbelievable.
