As revelations from the Epstein papers continue, it now transpires that Peter Mandelson was a leaking confidential Govt. documents to Epstein.
No wonder he's resigned from the Labour Party, and you'll be unsurprised there are now moves to see him removed from the House of Lords (although that's not that easy).
The only thing he'll really regret (whatever he now says) is being found out... one more corrupt political revealed (which does little for confidence in democracy)

How wrong the #BritishLeft was about Peter Mandelson! 😮
The standard left criticism was that #Mandelson was a master of spin, devoid of even mildly social democratic principles.
But even the #PrinceOfDarkness label radically underestimated Mandy's wickedness. Lord Peter was #insiderTrading at scale, flogging commercially sensitive cabinet-level info to the world's leading nonce. Way worse than imagined.
And it's not just #ukpol. How much did he betray as #EU Trade Commissioner?
