UK Police investigate Mandelson over claims he leaked information to Epstein.

Who else knew? What did recipients of information do?

Throughout history the mighty fall when intoxicated with power, fame, money, arrogance. They still think they are special.

No 10 hands material on Mandelson-Epstein emails to police

It comes after the former Labour minister was accused of passing sensitive government information to Epstein.

Jesus. And it raises another question. How many others in or around government are lured by the prospect of a post-office pay bonanza? How will we ever know unless they're caught up in a politicised US sex scandal?

Dan Neidle @danneidle.bsky.social · 4h

Peter Mandelson is telling the truth on one thing: the idea he was bought for a $4k “bursary” or a $75k gift is ridiculous

The real incentive was a post-government payday - one so big he *rejected* a $3–5m-a-year offer

And Epstein enabled that payday

Here’s the evidence. 🧵

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...
