Mandelson Does Not Deny Staying at Jailed Paedophile Epstein’s Manhattan Apartment

The Dark Lord has finally been asked the question he should have been quizzed with before he became the UK’s Ambassador to the US at Starmer’s behest: what about that close connection with Jeffrey Epstein? A report by bankers JP Morgan revealed that Epstein wrote to his private banker on 17 June 2009: “Peter will be staying at 71st over weekend…” That Peter was none other than Lord Mandelson, who up until Sky’s doorstep interview, had not commented on the sleepover at Epstein’s place. At that time, Epstein was serving an 18-month sentence after pleading guilty to procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution. Would you stay in the apartment of a jailed sex offender?

Lord Mandelson was then Business Secretary under Gordon Brown – a full Cabinet minister (in fact, by that stage, Brown’s premiership was imploding and Mandelson had become known as the de facto PM). He was appointed UK ambassador to the United States in December 2024. Labour sleaze like this and the Tories still can’t move the dial?
