Any more pics of him with Epstein out there?
It's one big club...

It was the offer of free suits from Alli-Palli what sealed it
Mr Sunak brought back one of the posh boys; Sir Shameless brought back a slimy git. Which UK leader is more cronyistic, embarrassing, desperate and pathetic?
Oh dear, George. I never heard about the Epstein link.
Labour peer Peter Mandelson’s “particularly close relationship” with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein has been detailed in a shock report by JPMorgan Chase.
The dossier laid bare the senior political figure’s ties to the late paedophile – who was close enough to the former Labour cabinet minister to call him “Petie”.
The report also suggests that Lord Mandelson stayed at Epstein’s New York home in June 2009 – when he was still Gordon Brown’s business secretary and the financier was serving 18 months in prison for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

Like The Dark Lord Blair, this woofter is the Richard The Third that won't flush....
I wouldn’t trust any of them with the bothy cat….
an article in The Daily Telegraph reported on Lord Mandelson describing Mr Trump as "a danger to the world".
The peer also described Mr Trump as "little short of a white nationalist and racist" during an interview with an Italian journalist in 2019, according to the newspaper.

Looks like an appointment fraught with mutual dislike and distaste. I suppose Labour don't have
anyone who isn't on record saying similar

A top campaign adviser to US President-elect Donald Trump has called the incoming UK ambassador to the US, Lord Peter Mandelson, "an absolute moron".
In a post on social media, Chris LaCivita said Lord Mandelson "should stay home".
Mr LaCivita, who was a co-campaign manager for Trump's presidential election bid, criticised the British government's decision saying it was replacing a "professional universally respected ambo [ambassador] with an absolute moron".
Lord Mandelson is one of the best-known figures in British politics, having served in multiple ministerial roles under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown before taking up a life peerage in the Lords.
He called his appointment as the UK's next ambassador to the US as "a great honour".
As first reported in The Times, Lord Mandelson will replace Dame Karen Pierce, whose term in Washington DC is due to end as Trump enters the White House in early 2025.
Dubbed the "Prince of Darkness" during his years as New Labour's spin doctor, the 71-year-old will now be the key link between the prime minister and Trump's incoming administration during a crucial time for US-UK diplomacy.
Like other senior Labour figures, Lord Mandelson has a record of criticising Donald Trump, once describing him as "little short of a white nationalist and racist".
Those comments were the focus of Mr LaCivita's criticism of Lord Mandelson, as he said in his post on X that the incoming ambassador "described Trump as a danger to the world and 'little short of a white nationalist'".
Mr LaCivita, a veteran of Republican politics with decades of experience, was a senior adviser to Trump's 2024 election campaign but currently has no official role in the administration.
In a statement following his appointment, Lord Mandelson said: "We face challenges in Britain, but also big opportunities and it will be a privilege to work with the government to land those opportunities."
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was "delighted" to appoint Lord Mandelson.
"The United States is one of our most important allies and as we move into a new chapter in our friendship," he said in a statement.
"Peter will bring unrivalled experience to the role and take our partnership from strength to strength."
Sir Keir also thanked Dame Karen for "her invaluable service for the last four years, and in particular the wisdom and steadfast support she has given me personally since July".
UK ambassadors are normally career diplomats or civil servants, but Downing Street said choosing a leading Labour politician "shows just how importantly we see our relationship with the Trump administration".
It comes as senior Conservative MP Sir Iain Duncan Smith challenged the decision.
He called for an investigation to scrutinise Lord Mandelson's appointment, his background and "whether or not this is reliable or anyway likely to cause offence in the United States".
"He's not a diplomatic appointee, he's a political appointee and political appointees often carry baggage, particularly if they've been out of parliament and out of government for some time," Sir Iain added.
In a recently unearthed interview with an Italian journalist in 2019, Lord Mandelson described Trump as a "reckless and a danger to the world".
In a 2018 interview with the Evening Standard, he also called Trump "a bully".
Since being touted as a potential candidate for the US-ambassador role, considered the most prestigious diplomatic post in the UK government, Lord Mandelson has softened his language on Trump.
In November he made a pitch on the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme to create "a new relationship rather than a special one" with the US.
He also told News Agents podcast it is "absolutely essential that we establish a relationship with President Trump that enables us not only to understand and interpret what he's doing but to influence it".
He added that the Labour government should try to "reconnect" with Trump's ally and tech multi-billionaire Elon Musk.
Musk, who has been critical of Sir Keir's government, has been appointed head of new advisory team the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), which is not an official government department.

The UK's choice for the next ambassador to the US, Lord Peter Mandelson, has described his previous criticism of Donald Trump as "ill-judged and wrong".
Speaking in an interview with US broadcaster Fox News, he said the new US president had won "fresh respect" from him, adding he was "quite confident" Trump would approve of his appointment.
As part of the process Lord Mandelson's credentials have to be presented to Trump, which the president is reportedly expected to agree to.
In previous years, Lord Mandelson has described Trump as "reckless" and "a bully".
In an interview with an Italian journalist in 2019, he described Trump as "reckless and a danger to the world".
This followed a 2018 interview with the Evening Standard where he described Trump as "a bully".
But he told Fox News, external: "I made those remarks six years ago in 2019, led rather along this by an Italian journalist... it was a time in Britain by the way with very fraught politics and there was high emotion about many things in Britain at that time.
"I consider my remarks about President Trump as ill-judged and wrong.
"And I think that time and attitudes towards the president has changed since then."
Acknowledging Trump's "extraordinary" second mandate, Lord Mandelson said Trump had won "fresh respect" from him and said he had heard nothing from the White House that suggested there was going to be any difficulty about his appointment.
"I think that President Trump will look at my credentials and consider what's best for the relationship going forward, " he said.
"The president is a nice person, is a fair-minded person, and that's why I feel quite confident that, when as I say he does look at my credentials he'll think 'right, I think this guy could work well for both our countries and our special relationship'."
He added Trump could be "one of the most consequential" US presidents.
Trump campaign adviser calls incoming UK ambassador to US a 'moron'
Peter Mandelson 'honoured' to be appointed US ambassador
The government is much less concerned than previously about the possibility that Lord Mandelson's appointment could be blocked by Trump.
Some of the president's allies had suggested that the president could take the extraordinary step of blocking him from taking up the role.
Trump's co-presidential campaign manager Chris LaCivita last month warned Lord Mandelson to "stay home" and called him "an absolute moron" over his past comments on Trump.
But Lord Mandelson is understood to have now received his "agrément" from the US government – a formal step confirming their willingness to accept him as a diplomat in their country.
The final hurdle will come when Lord Mandelson presents his "letter of credence" to Trump.
It is understood that he is likely to fly to Washington DC to carry out the final formalities next week.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said: "Lord Mandelson is HMA-designate and the formal diplomatic process is ongoing."
The US State Department has also been contacted for comment.
Mandelson's comments go further than others in government in recanting previous criticism of Trump.
Others in government such as the Foreign Secretary David Lammy have typically sought to deflect questions about their attacks on Trump by pointing out that many senior Republican politicians have previously criticised him too.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had his first phone call with Trump since the inauguration, but its is thought Lord Mandelson's appointment was not discussed.
Lord Mandelson is a well-known figure in British politics, having served in multiple ministerial roles under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown before taking up a life peerage in the Lords.
He was appointed by Sir Keir in December and will replace outgoing ambassador Dame Karen Pierce, the first woman to serve as UK ambassador to the US.

He'd not apologise to anyone in the UK, but President Trump a different proposition. President Trump could determine one's way forward eg if President Trump states he'll not deal with UK Plc as long as Mr Mendelsohn is UK Ambassador to USA.
This is international grovelling and eating humble pie at the same time.
This is international grovelling and eating humble pie at the same time.
Starmer and his hall of fame, what could possibly go wrong.... David Lammy, Rachel Reeves, Ed Milliband, Angela Rayner, Hilary Benn, Jess Philips, Wes streeting, Yvette Cooper, Peter Mandelson, Annalise Dodds, Lisa Nandy all influencing policy and holding positions of power. The future looked dark and hideous before Labour took power, it now looks like the END as we deteriorate into a third world country with huge debt, mass immigration, horrific rises in violent crime, a completely dysfuntional NHS and education services, and a civil service blob that is chock a block full of tick boxed multicultural lefty liberal progressive woke idiots, and an economy in absolute ruins. Do Sleep tight.
