After new, public revelations that Labour Party grandee Peter Mandelson failed security vetting but was appointed ambassador to the United States anyway, figures across the political spectrum are calling for the resignation of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
But as the debate surrounding who knew what and when about Jeffrey Epstein’s “best pal” continues, many in the mainstream media have failed to interrogate Mandelson’s links to the pro-Israel lobby.
The initial tranche of the Epstein files have already caused a political earthquake within the British establishment. For many years, the media and political class have willfully ignored the relationship between the convicted pedophile and Mandelson.
But photographs of the man who revelled in the nickname, the “Prince of Darkness,” standing in his underpants may have proven to be the straw that broke the back of Starmer’s Labour government.
Mandelson’s long-time protégé and Israel lobby favorite Morgan McSweeney has already resigned in disgrace after insisting on his mentor’s appointment as US ambassador last year, even in the face of British security service warnings.
And the Mandelson scandal only seems to escalate. In February, he was spectacularly – yet briefly – arrested by police on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The same month, Andrew Mountbatten-Windor, the former prince and another Epstein accomplice, was also arrested and is being investigated for the same reason, after emails in the latest Epstein releases suggested that both men handed over sensitive government information to the convicted pedophile and likely Mossad intelligence asset.
In April, continued questions about how Mandelson came to be appointed ambassador despite failing security vetting threatened Starmer’s tenure as prime minister. (more...)
