This is The Guardian.

He knew, we knew that Peter Manning had continued his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein,

even post the charges.

For Morghumor makes we need to put on a shocked face, clutches, pearls

didn't quite ring true. When I saw the pictures, when I saw the Bloomberg questions in

September 2025, I have to say it was like a knife through my soul. The good news is that people

are not bringing up Peter Mandelson on the doorstep. The bad news is they are constantly bringing up Kirstama and how much they hate it.

It doesn't really matter whether the Peter Mandelson story cuts through to the public or not.

They have already made their mind up.

Kirstarmer's former chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, says appointing Peter Mandelson as U.S. ambassador was a serious error of judgment.

Lucy. Yeah. The vote itself could be really significant if there was any sense that there was going to be a big Labour rebellion on it.

So if the Tories were able to partner up with enough Labour MPs, they could force an inquiry by a committee known as the Privileges Committee into whether the Prime Minister misled the House of Commons.
