Explain to me like I’m a 5-year-old: why is it that in the UK, Prince Andrew has fallen into utter disgrace for his long relationship with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, but for Labour peer Lord Peter Mandelson the same level of relationship is quite alright, and he has now been appointed as the new ambassador to the United States?
First, let’s take a look at the present development: Lord Mandelson will be made British ambassador to the US, as already-unpopular Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer scrambles to build a relationship with the incoming Trump administration.
The Telegraph reported:
“In a remarkable comeback, the former Cabinet minister, a key architect of New Labour under Tony Blair, will take over as Donald Trump begins his second term as the US president.
It is understood the Prime Minister hopes that, by appointing an experienced figure with a global reputation, the UK may be able to navigate potential trade wars. Mr. Trump has threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on imports.”
The Telegraph report only detects one problem: Mandelson’s previous role as commissioner for the European Union.
“The Government has been trying to forge a better relationship with the Trump team, in the face of obstacles including that high-profile Labour politicians have previously attacked Mr. Trump. In 2018, Lord Mandelson called him ‘a bully and a mercantilist’.”
Mandelson is believed to have ‘a greater understanding of global commerce than most civil servants’.
“A source said: ‘The fact the Prime Minister has chosen to make a political appointment and send Lord Mandelson to Washington shows just how importantly we see our relationship with the Trump administration.
We’re sending someone close to the Prime Minister with unrivalled political and policy experience, particularly on the crucial issue of trade. He’s the ideal candidate to represent the UK’s economic and security interests in the US’.”
Now let´s take a look back at 2023, when America’s largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, was being sued by multiple Epstein victims over its longstanding relationship with the pedophile, including after his conviction in Florida.
Before the bank settled financially with the victims, it released a shock report that identified Labour peer Peter Mandelson as having a ‘particularly close relationship’ with Epstein, who was close enough to the former Labour cabinet minister to call him ‘Petie’.
The Independent reported:
“The report also suggests that Lord Mandelson stayed at Epstein’s New York home in June 2009 – when he was still Gordon Brown’s business secretary and the financier was serving 18 months in prison for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
It found that ‘Jeffrey Epstein appears to maintain a particularly close relationship with Prince Andrew the Duke of York and Lord Peter Mandelson, a senior member of the British government’.”
Epstein wrote to JPMorgan executive and Epstein associate Jes Staley from prison to tell him that ‘Peter will be staying at 71st [Epstein’s NY townhouse] over weekend, do you want to organize’.
Mandelson knew Epstein at least since 2002, and a photo of the two men celebrating a birthday at Epstein’s Paris home in 2009 has emerged.
“The disgraced financier is said to have written to [JPMorgan’s] Mr. Staley only days after Lord Mandelson returned to the Labour government as business secretary and ‘first secretary of state’ in 2008.
Epstein reportedly wrote to the associate, who was then his personal banker at JPMorgan: ‘Well for all intends [sic] and purposes peter mandelson is now deputy prime minister’.”
The emails included in the JPMorgan report show that in 2010 Epstein set up a meeting between Mandelson and Staley at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“Lord Mandelson’s said: ‘Lord Mandelson very much regrets ever having been introduced to Epstein. This connection has been a matter of public record for some time. He never had any kind of professional or business relationship with Epstein in any form’.”
