"Peter Mandelson was still in contact with the disgraced paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein as late as 2016, newly released emails show. The UK's former ambassador to Washington joked with him about his birthday eight years after Epstein was sentenced to 18 months in prison for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Keir Starmer sacked the Labour grandee after the publication of separate emails that showed he had sent supportive messages even as Epstein faced jail for sex offences. The new emails also appear to suggest Mandelson warned Epstein to stay away from Prince Andrew - for his own sake."

The email exchanges reference age, plans to spend more time in the US, and a remark about the Donald White House.
