It represents a spectacular failure of the UK’s vetting process that Peter Mandelson managed to be appointed as US ambassador.
This also might have been career-ending for the PM if Mandelson was still in office now. He is very lucky his chief of staff didn’t get his way when he fought to keep him.

Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files

‘One Labour MP said: “It’s time he was suspended, put on a disciplinary and then expelled.”’
Lads, we’re well past that point. These are deeply serious allegations which the Security Services must have been aware of.

the story now makes clear it was far more than just £10,000, regular payments from Epstein to Mandelson partner
