Mandelson, Epstein & the Scandal That Could End Starmer | ☕ Morning Brew with Graham Hughes

Описание: This morning on Morning Brew, we’re digging into one of the most explosive political scandals in decades — and asking whether it could be the beginning of the end for Keir Starmer’s premiership.

The Metropolitan Police have launched a criminal investigation into Peter Mandelson, following revelations in the Epstein files that appear to show him passing market-sensitive government information to convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during the 2008 financial crash.

Mandelson has now resigned from the House of Lords. Police are preparing to interview him. His devices may be seized. And the offence under investigation — misconduct in public office — carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

But this story doesn’t stop with Mandelson. It goes straight to the heart of Downing Street.

Why was a man with such a toxic history appointed UK ambassador to Washington? What did No.10 know — and when? And why is Keir Starmer now scrambling to strip Mandelson of his peerage after personally handing a dossier to the police?

Labour MPs are openly questioning the judgment of the Prime Minister and his inner circle. Morgan McSweeney is under fire. Opposition parties are circling. And Westminster is asking a brutal question: is this just another scandal — or the moment Starmer’s authority finally collapses?
