People have been sent to The Tower for a lot less than what Peter Mandelson has done. The scandal engulfing Mandelson threatens to take down the Labour government of Sir Keir Starmer – and it should.
Peter Mandelson. Architect of New Labour. Mandy, then Lord Mandelson. A man who accumulated so many offices and titles that he was once mockingly compared to Cardinal Wolsey. His full title at that time: “The right hon. the Baron Mandelson of Foy in the county of Herefordshire and Hartlepool in the county of Durham, First Secretary of State, Lord President of the Privy Council and Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills”.
The Dark Lord. The Master of Spin. Mandelson dominated British politics and resigned not once but twice from the New Labour government. He was brought back to life and appointed to the coveted Ambassadorship to the United States by Starmer, over serious objections from the security services. This scandal is at least as bad as the Profumo affair and the Thorpe Affair, scandals that shattered trust in British Governments. In my view it is actually worse.
Mandelson was a very close friend of ‘financier’ and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. By close friend, it has been revealed that Mandelson directly briefed Epstein highly sensitive market information during the bank crisis, in effect acting against the British state he was appointed to serve. Oh, and still not talked about much, he was the architect of the entire New Labour open border immigration disaster.
Tony Blair, Peter Mandelson and the man who pulled the media strings for them Alastair Campbell are the three horsemen of the British political and cultural apocalypse. They were all directly responsible for shredding public trust in politicians and institutions due to the Iraq war, the open border immigration policy and relentless media spin and communication that sold this entire shitshow to the British public. It was shock and awe all right.
Campbell of course has not been named in any way in relation to the Epstein affair. I criticise only his record in government.
But Mandelson was ‘a close associate’ acting on Epstein’s behalf against his own government. He is one of the worst traitors in British history. Mandelson’s name appears 5,938 times in 3.5 million in the Epstein documents.
Keeping it simple, we now know that Mandelson worked directly against the interests of the British state during the financial crash.
The banks had to be bailed out and were getting nervous about continued lending. There were then discussions in the Treasury about selling off assets. In other words they had to start looking to sell off the family silver (State held public assets worth £20billion) to “relieve the debt burden, reduce borrowing costs and provide some funds for new investment.”
Mandelson forwarded these confidential Downing Street briefings (that were sent directly to Gordon Brown during the financial crisis) to Epstein. Mandelson told Epstein that public assets might come up for sale which is highly sensitive market information. This has triggered a police investigation.
Not only that but Mandelson also attempted to kill a proposed bankers tax by the then-Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling. Nick Cohen explains in The Spectator.
Darling’s “modest proposal was that bonuses of more than £25,000 would attract a 50 per cent tax rate. As Darling was doing this, Mandelson was working against him with his friend and benefactor, the sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Through Mandelson, Epstein organised a campaign from New York to undermine the Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer in London.”
Mandelson flagged the potential bankers tax to both Epstein and JP Morgan Chase, America’s largest bank. In December 2009 an email from Mandelson tells Epstein that Jamie Dimon, the boss of JP Morgan, should “mildly threaten” Alistair Darling, the chancellor, over a tax on bankers’ bonuses.
Darling, who died in 2023, wrote in his biography that Dimon called him a few days later. “Mr Dimon was angry, very angry,” Darling said. “He said that his bank bought a lot of UK debt and he wondered if that was now such a good idea. He went on to say that they were thinking of building a new office in London but they had to reconsider that now.” This was when Mandelson was “First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills.” So that’s the Secretary of State for Business calling up Epstein in the US and encouraging him to get the boss of JP Morgan to threaten the Chancellor should he impose a bankers tax.
Mandelson was also a chief architect of New Labour’s open border immigration policy which seriously undermined social cohesion in the UK.
Between 1997 and 2010, more than 2.2 million immigrants came to the UK – more than twice the population of Birmingham – with the annual net figure quadrupling during Labour’s time in office.
In 2013 at gathering of the Labour think-tank “Progress” Lord Mandelson admitted “in 2004 when as a Labour government, we were not only welcoming people to come into this country to work, we were sending out search parties for people and encouraging them, in some cases, to take up work in this country.” Sending out search parties they were.
Tony Blair, Peter Mandelson and Alistair Campbell were the architects of the entire globalist open border agenda in Britain. They were there to shake the place up. Under the new regime, things could only get better. This was the future that everybody was supposed to get on board with until it blew up in the banker’s crisis. Over the years as the usually mild-mannered British witnessed their country be fundamentally transformed, they became more alarmed at the rate of immigration. They were called fascist and racist for their troubles.
It is also worth asking how Mandelson was appointed ambassador to the United States despite previous resignations. This was in the face of serious concerns in the Labour party and the security services themselves. He was never subject to serious scrutiny because the legacy media did not hold him to account. Sky journalist Sophie Ridge admitted this on Twitter. She pointed out that there was a huge overlap between the media and politicians at Westminster. Yet when smaller non-legacy media outlets point this out, they are dismissed as peddling conspiracy theories or worse.
If twenty years ago somebody said that Jeffrey Epstein millionaire financier was a sex offender and trafficked women for powerful men, had links to then HRH Prince Andrew, the Duke of York they would have been dismissed as another wild conspiracy theorist. If it was then revealed that he was receiving inside information directly from the British government as they tried to salvage what was left of their exploding economy, you would think it was a script for a very badly written Netflix drama.
All of this however has come to light. Little was revealed by the mainstream media. Instead, it was revealed by a paper dump by the Americans. There is a very real chance the Mandelson scandal will take down the Starmer government. It should take down all of his destructive policies with him.
