This is the worst scandal is a long time in politics IMO. Maybe the worst.

It's bad enough Mandelson was maintaining a friendship with a convicted sex offender, but that's nothing compared to the fact that he was leaking government e-mails and decisions to him. A lot of it was market-sensitive information. Epstein had advanced knowledge of what the cabinet was thinking, what discussions were happening between the UK-US and even knew hours before the rest of the world that Brown was resigning. Mandelson was gloating about his role in it.
