Sun reporter in LK this morning "where did Mandelson get the £4m he needed for a house, we suspect Epstein", Sun reporter EVERY DAY, "where did Farage get the £800,000 for a house no one lives in, well, erm, oh look someone from Labour has dropped a chrisp packet, bastards".

Social posts discussing Peter Mandelson’s appointment (ambassador), references to a 2008 claim that “EU Security Services warned M16 about Peter Mandlesons Russian links,” George Foulkes’ 2008 role on the Intelligence & Security Committee (“overseeing the work of M15 & M16”), and comments about Starmer appointing then sacking someone after an “email drop”; mentions of “revisionism” and political scandal.

Every day Peter Mandelson worked to undermine Jeremy Corbyn, be it via a phone call, an email or simply being best pals with the biggest paedophile.
2/8/26, 04:12 PM
Neither should resign. It’s hysterical right wing media forcing this issue because he’s doing a good job and they want that Trump loving idiot Farage in. I’m with Keir Starmer. Mandelson was appointed due to who is in power in US with a hope to foster friendly relations.
I'd also imagine the Misconduct in Public Office financial info crimes would be easier to prove for the police (there's...

There was a hint that Andrew may have done something similar while he was UK Trade Envoy... which may leave him open to potential criminal investigation.
2/8/26, 04:08 PM
I'd also imagine the Misconduct in Public Office financial info crimes would be easier to prove for the police (there's a clear paper trail etc) And no politician is going to even hint to the cops that they shouldn't prosecute Mandelson if they have the evidence.

Keir Starmer’s biggest U-turns since Labour came to power | Keir Starmer | The Guardian share.google/drX9zAKw5V6a... Dick all then. He has to be dragged to do the right thing. Hes a wet fart in a red tie. A leader wouldve stepped down over mandleson.

Gordon Brown raised concerns over hiring of Mandelson and ex-Sun editor David Dinsmore bit.ly/4r4UAEp
2/8/26, 03:46 PM
What about the man that appointed Mandelson as Ambassador?
2/8/26, 03:42 PM
TBF the only reason Mandelson is currently in the shit is because he left receipts in others hands (and wasn't camera shy when he should have been).
2/8/26, 03:40 PM
i don't actually care. enormous amount of pearl clutching going on from labour supporters. england ifucked by brexit. mandelson got best trade deal in world out of america. they need more results like that. it was a case of 'hold nose, cash cheque' with mandeslon. no interest in regime change here.

The Peter Mandelson Scandal and Those Perennial “Schizophrenic” Conspiracy Theories From The Occidental Observer Ever since I started researching “controversial” topics, I have found myself irritated — whether at a certain conferences or on Twitter — by the same thing happening over and over again. No matter how logical my argument nor how much data I present in order to make sense of, for example, the reasons for the […] Feb 8th 2026 10:30am EST Source Link: https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2026/02/08/the-peter-mandelson-scandal-and-those-perennial-schizophrenic-conspiracy-theories/ Share, promote & comment with Nostr: https://dissentwatch.com/boost/?boost_post_id=1098661

I would be paranoid of being spiked, bugged, watched, and blackmailed by the Russian authorities - if I was Peter Mandelson.

🔴 Dimite el asesor principal de Starmer por el nombramiento del embajador Mandelson pese a sus vínculos con Esptein Las críticas contra el Gobierno laborista son crecientes incluso con llamamientos de dimisión contra el primer ministro
2/8/26, 03:32 PM
Vláda Keira Starmera sa otriasa. Rezignácia blízkeho spolupracovníka po kauze Epstein vyvolala politické zemetrasenie Rezignácia šéfa kancelárie britského premiéra po vymenovaní kontroverzného Mandelsona za veľvyslanca rozvírila politickú scénu. Opoziční aj vládni poslanci žiadajú odpovede a […]
Not a particularly good move imo, feels like he was forced out by the Never Starmer and hard left backbenchers, but feel...
2/8/26, 03:22 PM
A shame. It feels like he was the fall guy for Mandelson's abhorrent behaviour.
2/8/26, 03:21 PM
As this guy is a Mandelson protégé, did he simply not remember any of what happened? Was he not aware of the number of times the man has fucked up previously? Is it a requirement now to have your brain erased before you enter office???
Brown appointed Mandelson to his Shadow Cabinet, so his judgement of integrity is worthless.
2/8/26, 03:21 PM
It has always been appointments as 'rewards' for these people. Mandelson is the one who (already in a top position as advisor to Kinnock) massaged Bliar and Brown to the forefront for the New Labour takeover. They felt they 'owed' him.
2/8/26, 03:01 PM
Still quiet on Mandelson. I wonder why? 🤔
2/8/26, 02:56 PM
I mean how anyone thought that mandelson was ever a good idea for a job in government I'll never know. Hes always been a bit shady and has been so for years.
2/8/26, 02:50 PM
Unfortunately, I believe this will eventually lead to Starmer’s resignation too. I can’t believe how much damage Mandelson has caused and the right-wing (14 years of incompetence, lies and corruption) are having a field day.
2/8/26, 02:40 PM
Just pathetic, this is the least bit of damage control they can do. The party needs to stop pandering to the right, this isn't the change I voted for. Any good they have done has been enveloped by this bloody Mandelson scandal.
2/8/26, 02:40 PM
Do you find betrayal of his office by Mandelson to be boring? How much more dirt is there?
2/8/26, 02:38 PM
Mandelson resigned in 1998 and 2001 and 2026. A resignation in politics is just a performative tool to turn the heat down a bit. You think these people make their money from a salary? It means nothing.
2/8/26, 02:28 PM
YOUR decision to appoint Peter Mandelson was wrong. He has damaged our party, our country and trust in politics itself.
2/8/26, 02:27 PM
Really funny thing to say when you’ve been Mandelson’s bagman for years and years.
2/8/26, 02:12 PM

"No one objected to the appointment at the time" HAHAHA
2/8/26, 02:07 PM
The headlines are Starmer and Mandelson. Q: Why the UK has NOT put sanctions on the Trump regime that is killing and imprisoning innocent civilians. At what point do we treat the USA like we treat Russia and Putin or North Korea and Un. @therestpolitics.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Pressure grows on British Prime Minister Starmer over Mandelson fallout
2/8/26, 01:32 PM
And yet Profumo only lied about his affair with Christine Keeler who was suspected of being simultaneously involved with Capt Ivanov, and while there was no proof any intelligence passed hands, unlike Mandelson, Macmillan still resigned. Mandelson passed secrets to Epstein. Guess what happens next?
2/8/26, 01:30 PM
'Mandelson was the architect of new Labour, who brought us Tony Blair, who declared proudly in a speech to Silicon Valley executives that New Labour was ‘intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich’, and who helped lead every witch-hunt against the left'
2/8/26, 01:26 PM
Our Moscow Embassy should have known about his presence too (for security reasons). This is interesting. If the Embassy did know, then MI6 would be aware. But if Mandelson somehow travelled without government knowledge, Moscow of all places, then the story starts to smell even worse.
2/8/26, 01:26 PM
ANAS Sarwar is “going into hiding” & dodging media scrutiny amid the Peter Mandelson & Epstein scandal. It comes after Scottish Labour & the Scotland Office refused to put forward anyone for the BBC Sunday Show to talk about the issue engulfing the Labour Party www.thenational.scot/news/2583601...
https://www.thenational.scot/news/2583601...
2/8/26, 01:23 PM
I am wondering why they would ask anyone other than Mandelson about this as no one else would be likely to know anything of substance.
They are calling it the Mandelson Bounce.
"They are calling it the Mandelson Bounce."
2/8/26, 01:22 PM
Nothing to do with Mandelson. This nation is not much better than sheet wearing, cross burning, red necks! Brexit will be mild in comparison to voting for a party committed to dismantling the NHS!

Pressure Grows on British Prime Minister Starmer Over Mandelson Fallout
2/8/26, 12:51 PM
Starmer *appointed someone who had ties to E, then sacked him after 1st email drop. I haven't seen evidence of wrongdoing by Mandelson during that time, only under a previous PM. Political commentators/journalists are indulging in revisionism/dishonesty No one objected to the appointment at the time
2/8/26, 12:35 PM
They are calling it the Mandelson Bounce.
2/8/26, 12:31 PM
Say we buy that Starmer didnt know how close Mandelson and Epstein were, and Mandelsonked to him about it. It still shows a profound lack of judgement to believe anything a crook like Mandelson says. Add to that the whole story is a load of bollocks and it's clear Starmer has to go

"This is George Foulkes. In 2022 he was tweeting about Nicola Sturgeons shoes. It's how his brain works But in 2008 he EU Security Services warned M16 about Peter Mandlesons Russian links But in 2008 Foulkes was a member of the Intelligence & Services Committee overseeing the the work of M15 & M16"
2/8/26, 12:06 PM
George probably slept through most of this "overseeing" That's if he was ever even present. Yet another nail, in a very long list of nails, in Starmers coffin.
2/8/26, 11:32 AM
Correct. If Harris had won, Mandelson wouldn’t have been appointed ambassador
2/8/26, 11:31 AM
When Mandelson was a Labour member & Corbyn PM, Mand said: "I work every day in some small way to bring the end of his term in office." The reward for "kicking the left again & again..was a blind eye was turned to the fact [Starmer] knew abt the rship between him & Epstein." youtu.be/L1kE4-FmQ84?...

"Former Tory chief whip, Tim Fortescue CBE, admits in BBC interview in 1995 that he'd help MPs out of scandals in return for party loyalty - even scandals "with small boys". Epstein, Mandelson... many others... they're all dirty so they all cover up for each other - even child abuse. #EpsteinFiles"
2/8/26, 11:11 AM
"We blackmail peados to ensure we control the country how we want," is quite the admission.
2/8/26, 11:07 AM
His MPs and advisors warned him about Mandelson and he appointed him anyway
"There was absolutely no need for Keir Starmer to install Peter Mandelson, (who everyone knew, at the time of his appointment two years ago, had been *very* close to Jeffrey Epstein) as British ambassador to Washington. Career diplomat Dame Karen Pierce DCMG was already on top of the brief."
2/8/26, 11:07 AM
Cringe worthy 🫤
2/8/26, 11:05 AM
Will Mandelson ever be charged/jailed for leaking information to Epstein? Probably not. But his departure and that of MacSweeney is a big blow to the Blairites and has likely spiked the chances of Wes Palantir Streeting taking over as leader.
2/8/26, 10:58 AM
After this week’s revelations about Peter Mandelson, there are still people who believe that Britain has higher standards in public life than any other country. Comforting thought but, alas, untrue.
