Probably better from him to jump before he was pushed he is facing a criminal investigation so they would have expelled him anyway.
Oh, Mandy
Well, you came
And you took without giving
So we sent you away*
Oh, Mandy
*for 10-15 years please
Thank God. But theres probs other pedos that need purging too
I wonder how many more people like this are in the commons?
It would be nice if we could revert every single major policy he voted in favour of or pushed for until a thorough review is undertaken as to the true motive behind the implementation of each. Him being charged for treason is clearly the bare minimum, but we also need to undo the damage that he did and investigate every single person that he was in contact with in order to fully excise the tumour of corruption that has clearly infested the heart of this country.
I think I’m going to resign from my job now too. Then I can say I resigned “after Epstein email leak scandal”. Intriguing!
For anyone who doesn’t know what’s going on currently:
1. Mandelson claims he was up front with Kier Starmer, around his links to Epstein during the vetting process. Mandelson is claiming its all overblown. This resignation doesn’t really change much, he’s still a life peer and can participate in the house of lords
2. [Gordon brown](https://x.com/MrHarryCole/status/2018445711604621509) is claiming that he informed the labour party internally of some of these problems last year, though I can’t find more details currently
3. The opposition looks likely to force the government to disclose what the government knew during the vetting process of peter mandelson, with a motion tomorrow seemingly looking like it’ll likely pass
4. Starmer is attempting to get ahead of the scandal by referring it to the police. It looks like there’ll also be legislation to properly strip mandelson, which is an about turn from the statement that it was too complex to do yesterday. It seems like Starmer has been surprised by the speed that this scandal is developing, because the messaging is evolving in realtime
I strongly suspect that the government being forced to disclose that it knowingly hired someone with strong links to Epstein (as seems very likely) is going to cause the end of the Starmer government. He’s far too unpopular to survive something like this, and anyone with links to Epstein is absolutely radioactive in public opinion at the moment
Edit:
Farage is also saying that he was aware that his treasurer was good friends with Ghislaine maxwell. I’m so sick of this. What on earth is going on? Why is this so acceptable?
Good riddance to this pathetic and pathetic looking puppet.
Charge him with treason.
It really is something of a paradox watching this whole Peter Mandelson saga unfold. Here is arguably one of the most formidable political operators in Labour’s recent history; someone who has shaped strategy, managed crises and pulled the levers of power like few others could. And yet he seems spectacularly unable to apply even a fraction of that acumen to his own decisions and more crucially to follow his own advice.
I assume it is the tip of the iceberg of other scandals we are unaware of.
Ok, I know they stand out but why is it always well connected people in power?
And all the people implicated would still be in their positions of power, without doing the right thing, if none of this ever came out.
Mandelson should be in jail. I’m tired of the powerful being able to get away with shit that would send ordinary folk to prison.
He’s like dracula the way he keeps coming back from the sackings he’s received. Let’s hope this will be the last time
Ironic that he has been taken down by the Epstein files, despite the fact that he definitely never had sex with any underage girls!
How could we have dealt with being in the EU if we can’t even keep a lid on our own political system. We need a new system that has complete public transparency and accountability once a person is in any substantial position. They’re all in it to line their own pockets first, lucky if the country comes a close second.
I was wondering why the media keeps referring to Epstein as a “financier”, when “paedophile” just seems more appropriate now? Surely he’ll be remembered for trafficking young girls to his island hideout to sexually abuse them?
So then I thought, is clinging to “financier” being used as a bit of an anti-Semitic trope here??
A quick internet search leaves me even more confused as I’ve pulled up about 50 recipes for these little cakes.
We live in wild times
It’s kind of funny how to resign as an MP you have to ask the Chancellor to give you a fake job as a steward and bailiff of a land division that doesn’t exist any more, but to resign as a Lord you just…Resign.
Isn’t some of the stuff he’s alleged to have done treason? Surely it doesn’t end with him resigning and swanning off to enjoy a cushy private sector job.
So is he still a Lord and chooses not to use the title or has the title and Lords position been removed from him?
It’d take an act of Parliament to strip him of the title but I bet he could voluntarily give it up.
Wouldn’t surprise me if his “misfortune” is now a target for the Chinese.
I’m obviously glad he’s resigned but there absolutely needs to be a better way for the chamber to remove miscreants than a special issue person-specific act.
It’d be pretty simple for the Government to pass an act allowing stripping of titles by simple majority of both Houses after a thirty day cooling off. This would also work for the Andrew formerly known as Prince, whose titles can go back into effect by the same stroke of the pen that removed them from effect.
