Number 10 Press Release: "Keir Starmer will be grappling with his conscience this weekend."
Labour MPs & party insiders tell me they’ve never seen Keir Starmer so angry as over Mandelson’s lies about Epstein links.
But those who know him well say that anger has now turned inwards. That Starmer is, above all else, a man of public service, and will be grappling with his conscious this w/e.

There's an irony in the Tories - who fought tooth and nail not to disclose their WhatsApp messages and private emails handing out enormous public contracts to their buddies - now asking Labour to hand over their comms with Mandelson (which don't appear to involve any public money).

A politics that claims to defend women while refusing to confront the systems that harm them is not about protection. It's about strategy.

It's time now for the Government to put forward legislation to strip Peter Mandelson of his peerage.
It's the very least they can do for the victims and survivors of his friend Jeffrey Epstein. If Mandelson has any shame left, he'll retire from the House of Lords today.
