Peter Mandelson arrested in Epstein probe
Peter Mandelson was arrested last night as part of a probe into misconduct in public office, just days after Andrew was quizzed by cops, reports BritPanorama.
The former ambassador, 72, is accused of leaking sensitive government intelligence to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Mandelson has previously denied any wrongdoing and expressed regret over his connection to the convicted sex offender. His arrest follows Andrew’s own detention on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
The scandal has thrown Sir Keir Starmer’s premiership into freefall, as discontent brews among Labour MPs regarding his decision to appoint Mandelson as US Ambassador last year. Several rebel MPs have called for Starmer’s resignation in response to the controversy.
The implications of this incident not only raise questions about individual accountability within the party but also reflect broader concerns about governance and oversight in public office. The unfolding situation offers a revealing insight into the dynamics of leadership and loyalty within Labour amid ongoing scrutiny.
