""The Prime Minister said he was appalled by the information that had emerged over the weekend in the Epstein files. Mandelson claims 'there is nothing I can tell Congress about Epstein' "He said the alleged passing-on of emails of highly sensitive Government business was disgraceful, adding that he was not reassured that the totality of information had yet emerged. "The Prime Minister told cabinet that Peter Mandelson should no longer be a member of the House of Lords or use the title,""
"and said he had asked the Cabinet Secretary to review all available information regarding Mandelson's contact with Jeffrey Epstein during his time serving as a government minister. "He said he'd made it clear the government would cooperate with the police in any inquiries they carried out, but he said the government had to press and go further, working at speed in the Lords, including legislatively if necessary.""
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer provided the Metropolitan Police with a file on Lord Peter Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein. Allegations state Mandelson shared confidential Downing Street information while serving as Business Secretary under Gordon Brown. Emails appear to show Mandelson told Epstein he would lobby ministers on a proposed tax on bankers' bonuses during the 2009 financial crisis. Starmer said Mandelson had let the country down and urged that he should no longer be a member of the Lords or use the title. The Cabinet Secretary has been asked to review all available information and the government will cooperate with police inquiries. An initial review found the released documents likely contain market-sensitive information related to the 2008 financial crash.
