Paul Mandelson resigns/retires from House of Lords [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Sky News, UK

per Sky News. This results from the Epstein files.

Yesterday Parliament pilloried Mandelson, and Sky News showed a photo of Mandelson in his underwear with a female, from the files, all day long. So today Mandelson is all but out of politics. The Brits are concerned about trust in its democratic institutions as well as national security. Gordon Brown had requested an investigation into Mandelson months ago, so he's upset it took so long. There are calls to hold Mandelson accountable.

Meanwhile, fascist republican pedophiles still hold the reins of power in the US. Why is there no accountability for the rich in the US of A?? Seriously. WTF (which has becomes our country's motto under Trump)!!!

Edit: The UK media asked Mandelson why he had any association with Epstein to begin with considering he was in prison at the time. Mandelson could only say he regretted having met Epstein.

Media is now asking why Keir Starmer, PM, sent Mandelson to the US at all given his questionable past.
