"Where's the action going to be? At the very very least will you not agree to send an observer on the legal boat? The government has to act."

this must be the end of Mandelson & in my opinion Keir showed bad judgement in not cutting him loose much sooner.

Good friends of Epstein are prob not squeaky clean!!

Newly released emails from Mandelson to Epstein - “I think the world of you and I feel hopeless and furious about what has happened.

No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today.

Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.
