US EditionPeter Mandelson, in a recent interview, expresses regret over system failures but declines apology to Epstein victims
Peter Mandelson apologised for systemic failures protecting Epstein's victims but denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes despite emails showing close ties after 2008 conviction.
- In his BBC interview, Lord Peter Mandelson said he would apologise 'to those women for a system that refused to hear their voices,' but declined to apologise for his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
- Published emails in September revealed Mandelson's relationship with Epstein was materially different from what was known, prompting prime minister Keir Starmer to request his withdrawal and sacking.
- Mandelson admitted he believed the story Jeffrey Epstein told in 2008 and said, `It was a most terrible mistake on my part. He continued` to call Epstein his 'best pal' and urged him to fight for early release shortly before his 18-month sentence.
- The government moved to name a successor, announcing Christian Turner as ambassador, while the interview provoked public fury and calls to strip Mandelson of his Labour peerage.
- The disclosures have reignited questions about how the system treated Epstein's victims and Downing Street said the emails showed a relationship materially different from what was known, reopening debate over a system that gave him protection and not them.
