Mandelson's Lawyers Break Silence on His Arrest

Police opened an investigation into Mandelson earlier this month over allegations stemming from the Epstein files.

Maybe he can share a cell with Andrew.

May as well just refer to them as Mandrew, now.

Or Andrelson?

Surely Boys in this case.

Beyond the sharing of confidential information, the Epstein files also appear to show financialtransfers totalling $75,000 from the late sex offender to accounts linked to Mandelson or his partner, Reinaldo Avila da Silva. Upon the release of the emails, Mandelson reportedly said that he didn’t recall receiving the money and would need to look into whether the documents are legitimate.

I sense: “The money was just resting in my account!”

Okay, now can we agree that much of the time when looking at this scandal, that a lot of what we think is going on here is in our own heads?

We have no actual reason to believe that Peter Mandelson is a paedophile, do we?

The assumption seems to stem immediately from association with Epstein. But The Great Zaganza didn’t realize Mandelson was gay so immediately assumed he was trading secrets for underage girls.

Then Andy Ross points out that in Mandelson’s case it would be boys. Yet, nowhere do we have any claims - except in the more obviously fabricated stories - that Epstein trafficked boys. The immediate assumption is just made as a way of preserving the theory.

In fact, the prosecutions of Andrew and Mandelson are interesting because they demonstrate that they are not so powerful that they can escape investigation. If they could be prosecuted for these crimes then why not for sex with minors? Or maybe more importantly, now the investigation would be able to blow the lid off any child sex trafficking ring if it existed.

With Mandelson it seems to have been about the money, looking back at "yachtgate" some years back

Peter Mandelson, the Russian superyacht and the scandal we completely misread

When Britain's most powerful political fixer was caught on an oligarch's boat in Corfu, we called it Yachtgate and moved on. The Epstein files now reveal the full picture: a web of Russian money, paedophile kompromat and New Labour access that shaped a decade of British politics, writes Tamsin Shaw
