Peter Mandelson, being forced to design as UK ambassador to the US over his close links to the

serial paedophile, Geoffrey Epstein, should be regarded as a political and media scandal.

It exposes a politically and morally bankrupt government and a media, which, let's be honest,

just too often protects the powerful while punching down on those who don't have power.

But it really underlines a very obvious fact.

And that is, I'm afraid to say, I'm not afraid to say, Kirstama, the Prime Minister is doomed.

That man is kaput.

Finito, he's the walking dead, politically speaking.

That is a zombie prime minister flailing

around, frankly, in increasingly degrading and humiliating fashion. Kier Stelman appointed

Lord Mandelson as ambassadors to the US when it was absolutely clear that that guy had a

close relationship

to this prolific sex offender who is described as his best pal in Leeds messages.

Epstein, by the way, do get a sick bag at any point, called him PT.

Now, these two clearly went back a long way.

Let's just have a look at the 2003 birthday messages from Mandelson to Epstein, who had hundreds of victims. And this really is what example, isn't it, of this sordid relationship. And this really is a sordid relationship between the political elite and a wealthy elite, up to and including, in this case, a serial paedophile.

So you get these birthday messages in a birthday book.

An idiot Peter Mandelson has scrawled various captions.

Like, once upon a time, an intelligent, sharp-bitted man, they call

mysterious parachuted into my life.

Anyone who's met, Peter Mad will, I think, I have met him.

I think be O'Fay with his style, which is somewhere between charming in a certain way
