As PM?

That’s a fair response. Thankyou.

May be worth remembering that while Mandelson is being rightly castigated over his relationship with Epstein, the current POTUS is just as culpable. In 2002 - coincidentally at the height of Mandelson’s power - Trump said of Epstein, ‘I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy…he’s a lot of fun to be with, he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.’

Two years later they fell out, allegedly over a property purchase.
