"Newly released emails from the Epstein files suggest that in 2009 Mandelson sent Jeffrey Epstein a memo written for Brown about possible UK asset sales and tax changes, and in 2010 gave Epstein an advance notice of a 500-billion-euro ($590 billion) bailout by the European Union. These new revelations have stirred Starmer's opponents and even those in his own party to question his judgement. Polls have suggested Starmer is already unpopular with the British public, and some lawmakers say his position is under threat."
"Mandelson, who resigned from Starmer's Labour Party on Sunday and since quit his position in parliament's upper chamber on Tuesday, has not responded to messages seeking comment. The Police launched their investigation on Tuesday following the receipt of reports alleging misconduct in public office, including a referral from the government. Following the announcement of the investigation into Mandelson the government has said it stood "ready to provide whatever support and assistance the police need.""
Newly released emails from the Epstein files suggest that in 2009 Lord Mandelson sent Jeffrey Epstein a memo written for Gordon Brown about possible UK asset sales and tax changes. In 2010 Mandelson reportedly gave Epstein advance notice of a 500-billion-euro ($590bn) bailout by the European Union. The revelations have prompted opponents and some colleagues to question Keir Starmer's judgement and worsened his public standing in polls. Mandelson resigned from the Labour Party and quit his seat in the House of Lords. The police launched an investigation into alleged misconduct in public office after reports and a government referral. The government said it stood ready to assist the police.
