yes, like Prince Andrew, Mandelson continued to stay at Epstein's properties even after the latter's conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor, so his "I wish I'd never met him" cry doesn't sound so convincing. Starmer is giving Mandelson his "full backing". Oh, dear!

2 tier......etc...
"They break our legs and tell us to be grateful when they offer us crutches."
Think of those gangster films/shows, where everybody is fawning sycophantically over the big bosses and tough guys, buttering them up, willing to do almost anything to please, while dreaming of stabbing them in the back.
Not too dissimilar here. Epstein was one of the rich and carefully generous people who, in exchange for flattery and favours, would supply the abundant money politicians and fixers crave (and need to support their careers).
Costs little to write nice things in a birthday card, but cutting someone off - however dubious - is going to interrupt the cashflow.
Thing is Mandelson's closeness to Epstein has been well-established fact for a very long time. That he visited the island multiple times, had a close friendship with him etc. etc.
It's astonishing that Starmer decided not just to seek him out privately as an advisor, let alone appoint him formally to a prestigious role.

Is this the person that we would want to represent us to the Yanks ?
Some disturbing things in that birthday book wrote by Mandelson. KS needs to get rid of him pronto. Rayner had to resign for not paying a bit of tax. This guy hung out with a convicted paedo and sex trafficker.

It's both bad on its merits and also just politically idiotic.
One aspect of British political life is just how much politics is about the press/political elite just choosing to properly notice things or not. For whatever reason there's been an awful lot of 'not noticing' things that Peter Mandelson has done that make him unfit for any public office (not just Epstein but connections with Putin and various other tyrants, alongside all the business dealings when he was actually in office under Blair).
Why send him to the USA, where no such convention where you should just 'not notice' all this stuff because Mandelson is one of the establishment exists?

Absolutely this.

Someone needs to blow this wide open. The victims are still pushing, but they’re not going to get anywhere on their own.
But who?
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
Epstein "committed suicide" Maxwell doesn't seem to be saying much, probably in order to avoid her own "suicide"
It seems to me that there is an element of "no one is innocent" and so many people in positions of power are involved or tainted, that it'd be easier for them to legalise and weather the storm then actually prosecute.
I mean Epstein & Maxwell are the traffickers, the victims are known... Where are the perps? Other than the completely innocent Andrew Windsor has anyone actually been accused?

If you want to keep a lid on something that could have spectacular consequences you'd send someone with vested interests - that's my take
He knows the dirt & where it's buried? and was nicknamed "The Prince of Darkness" a long time ago... Hmm?
