👏 #Mandelson ➡️ #Epstein

Forensic analysis by the ever-excellent @danneidle.bsky.social FYI - long and detailed with some historical data. Dan is nothing if not thorough!! 👏
great post by @danneidle.bsky.social on the chances of a successful criminal prosecution of Mandelson

Dan reckons "fraud by false representation" (lying about the Epstein relationship when interviewed for the ambassador job) could be the easiest route for police

🤔 *that was fun. Say hi to #SnowWhite*🤔
FT exclusive:

Jes Staley was named as a trustee of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate up until at least 2015, newly released documents show, which appear to undermine court testimony from the former Barclays boss that he turned down the role.

our FT story from June 2023 showed:

Mandelson stayed at Epstein’s $77m townhouse in Manhattan in June 2009 while the financier was in prison for soliciting prostitution from minor

in 2010 and 2011 Epstein noted that “Petie” was with him in Paris, where the financier owned a sumptuous apartment

Particularly moved by #Amal's story: "..she and her husband resisted [the #RSF]. He was shot dead, she was beaten. Their house was destroyed. Two of their sons are dead...she struggles to get out of bed each day. *💔I was a big woman, now my health is not like before*💔 "
I think this is the most important article I've written for a while: a trip to Sudan to report on the UN's refugee agency.

Battered by Trump's cuts and western retreat, can humanitarianism survive?
