We were talking here yesterday and I said that surely Mandelson has got to be wheeled in and some point.

Arrest is all well and good, time will tell if either will be charged, probably not.

They're starting with misconduct in public office for both of them which carries a high tariff if convicted. I imagine that if they don't feel they can make that stick they will down grade it to breach of the Official Secrets Act - it would be hard to see how either could wriggle out of that one as its clear they have passed on government information.

Fucking brilliant. I've always been a fan of Gordon Brown, it seems he's coming into his own here. Blair next please.

Hip hip hooray. Bloody good job too. Slimy creep.

But he didn't hear or see anything. And it didn't concern him in any case as he's gay. And it's not like he needed or even knew about money that might be going into his bank account. It's all a complete mystery!!!

It will be very interesting to watch this unfold.

And this was TWO weeks ago.

Gave plenty of time to destroy every bit of evidence.

I wonder if they stay silent, it would be enough to let them off the hook...

The top lawyer can be played by Robert Lindsay in the Netflix series.

Took a while after AMW but good. It’s going to be interesting to see what comes out.

Will he no longer be a Lord now?

About bloody time. I don't understand why this didn't happen earlier, or at least at same time as Andrew. I also don't understand why the State apparatus isn't working a bit harder to pick up on these men for sharing what amounts to state secrets.

Maybe it is only because of what AMW has blabbed that they now have enough evidence to go for the odious Mandy. I can't imagine that AMW would go down without taking others down with him.

Arresting them is one thing
Charging them and then convicting them is another

Love GB.

lucky he had time to get rid of all his laptops and devices

If the Epstein files have emails of confidential trade information from Mandelson, wiping his devices may not be enough especially if they find corresponding payments going in the other direction.

Back2TheDrawingBoard · 23/02/2026 17:49

We've known "Mandy" was dodgy since the 1990s. I was frequently surprised he hadn't been cancelled yet and was in fact a "Lord".

Two phrases come to mind:

  1. hiding in plain sight
  2. justice delayed is justice denied
KimTheresPeopleThatAreDying · 23/02/2026 17:50

Good. Something of the night, indeed.

Apparently Gordon Brown has been really pushing for action.

Why?

I am asking seriously. It's good if so, by why Gordon Brown?

It will actually make his case worse as there will be a trail of him trying to destroy evidence. He knows this. He knew the game was up the minute he was recalled from his ambassadorship. In fact, he knew before then - I’m pretty sure it’s partly why he was so authentically gung-ho about Trump. He wasn’t faking those smiles in the Oval Office. He thought he’d be able to get this stuff buried once and for all post-Maxwell.

ThatSourGobstopper · 23/02/2026 17:56

He should have been arrested a long time ago along with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Despicable sleazeballs the pair of them! It’s a pity Virginia Giuffre had to die by suicide before anyone took any notice. May she now rest in peace.
