With Mandelson it went beyond simply knowing him.

Quote:
"The emails show that the depth and extent of Peter Mandelson’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is materially different from that known at the time of his appointment.
"In particular Peter Mandelson’s suggestion that Jeffrey Epstein’s first conviction was wrongful and should be challenged is new information. In light of that, and mindful of the victims of Epstein’s crimes he has been withdrawn as Ambassador with immediate effect."

An interesting point here on how the Conservatives could have made the situation worse by letting it drag on.
Quote:
Mandelson's sacking as US ambassador was announced by Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty, after a Tory MP forced a debate on the situation in the Commons.

The former leader of the Scottish Conservatives said: "There's, I think, a mistake here from the Tories in the timing of this.

"We're talking at 10:50am on Thursday, and it just came out, just before that a Foreign Office minister had to stand up in the Commons because the Tories had table an urgent question about Peter Mandelson.

"Actually, if you're the Conservatives, you probably wanted this to drag on," she added.

Davidson also said that she though Mandelson's appointment was "mad" and that Starmer's full-throttled defence of the ambassador in the Commons yesterday was "absolutely mad".

"It was clear as day that there was more to come out here," she said.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

Starmer talking about Mandelson looked like a right muppet.

He’s toast, it’s only a matter of time now. Not if but when…..

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

PM 'angry' over Mandelson scandal - as emergency debate set to ramp up pressure
The three-hour debate into the Labour peer's links to Jeffrey Epstein comes hours before US President Donald Trump, himself embroiled in questions surrounding the disgraced billionaire, lands in the UK for a pomp and ceremony-laden state visit.


https://news.sky.com/story/pm-angry-...ssure-13431950



Speaker Lindsay Hoyle has agreed to allot three hours for questions about what the government, and particular the prime minister, knew and didn't know about the depth of Lord Mandelson's relationship with billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

i bet starmers missing for this

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

Trump is arriving today isn't he? Might help Starmer have an excuse to get out of it.

What exactly is bottling it? The UK is not a dictatorship so Government needs to adhere to the law.

It wouldn’t half put you in a good light if you actually recognised that in respect of the boat migrants, it’s the lefty lawyers, looking for a lot of taxpayer money, that are running the country (in a manner of speaking). They are like ambulance chasers who look at the legal aid money tree with a vengeance. And Labour have been just as stupidly as the Tories in allowing this to happen.

“Adhere to the law”. - my ass.
