US EditionMandelson revelations raise further questions about Starmer's judgement
Emails reveal Mandelson shared sensitive UK government information with Epstein, prompting police reports and a Cabinet Secretary probe ordered by Starmer amid calls for a criminal inquiry.
- Yesterday the US Department of Justice released a tranche of Epstein emails, prompting SNP MP Stephen Flynn to report Mandelson to the Metropolitan Police and Starmer to order a Cabinet Secretary probe.
- Downing Street records indicate that in 2009–2010, Mandelson appeared to share internal government discussions and lobbying ministers over bankers' bonuses, prompting a police probe.
- The documents include original emails containing sensitive economic information and one message appears to confirm a 2010 bailout before it was announced, with Mandelson reportedly forwarding government emails to Epstein and engaging in insider trading, prompting police inquiry.
- He now faces a full-blown probe by the Met's specialist crime team into misconduct allegations, after Mandelson resigned his Labour membership and House of Lords seat, prompting opposition calls for a criminal investigation.
- Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called for a Whitehall inquiry, as the fallout from Mandelson's emails risks damaging Starmer's judgement and poll ratings, with effects lasting years.
