‘He needs to disappear for a very long time’: has Peter Mandelson finally run out of spin?
AI Summary
Following a BBC interview, Peter Mandelson's close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has resurfaced, raising questions about his political future. Mandelson was previously withdrawn as US ambassador after emails revealed he advised Epstein to "fight for early release" prior to his sentencing for sex offenses. Despite the controversy, some, like Palantir Technologies' UK head Louis Mosley, still value Mandelson's political insights, particularly regarding Donald Trump. Sources indicate Mandelson's relationship with Keir Starmer's chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, played a role in his initial ambassador appointment. Despite public criticism, Mandelson maintains connections and influence, leaving his next steps uncertain.
