Honestly I think the whole government needs to be investigated. There are so many dodgy dealings, I bet nearly all of them have skeletons in their closets.

I’d like Dr David Kelly to get some justice.

That's quite a stretch. They never investigated the whole of Johnson's government and they visibly had a lot of dodgy stuff going on.

Absolutely.

The Mandelson files will be published soon anyway, they can deal with that.

Apparently Gordon Brown has been really pushing for action.

Good on him!

It amazes me mandelson passed vetting. Presumably he has had access to all sorts of secret documents in his recent role. Bit of a fuck up right there.

The stories have been leaking for years about the Prince of Darkness. Stamer, in his previous job and now as current PM must have been very aware of the dangers of Mandelson.
So, what did Starmer get in return? Because there is no way he hasnt got or been promised something. He has form. Free glasses, free flats, free holidays...

Great post @Beesandhoney123
I wonder too.

So sick of all these dirty bastard politicians. Why can't they keep it in their pants?

It's the men isn't it! They are so troublesome, either sex obsessed or money obsessed. A cabinet full of women would be much more efficient.

Exactly. Nothing will happen. "They" (whoever "They" is) just had to make a show of doing the right thing.

I wonder what Morgan McSweeney is up to these days?

None of us know this. It's completely normal for people to be released on bail unless they pose a risk to the public. Jails are full and if someone hasn't been charged - they won't be incarcerated in the mean time

Well. Whatever. They're all yesterday's men and women. I'm half convinced that it's like the mafia. Nobody is sacred. From time to time they, "Take out the trash" and start over with bigger, better, more savvy perverts.

I'm more interested in who could be the next generation. I've said in a previous post that this kind of thing doesn't go away. Andrew, Mandy, Tony Blair, Trump, The Clintons, Epstein, Ghislaine. Forgedda'bout'it. As they say in certain circles.

It wouldn't work any more as a blackmail ring. They've lost power and influence. Look to who is up and coming.

I don't know who this could be and they're probably not very publicity seeking. Nobody knew who Epstein was after all. Not for a long time.

Le Parisien published the photographs of the 18-room flat on Avenue Foch taken during a 2019 investigation into rapes allegedly committed there by Jean-Luc Brunel, a former modelling agent. Brunel, who was an associate of Epstein, took his own life in prison in 2022 while awaiting trial for the rape of a child.

The flat pictured is the same one where former diplomat Mandleson was photographed standing in his underpants.

Doesn't negate the fact that there have been some dodgy women in the Tory government.

Which 'tory women' are you comparing to Mandelson? He was close friends with a known paedophile.

I am afraid there are dodgy politicians in all parties. Men and women. Only because we now have access to Epstein’s emails can we see how dodgy. If we had access to wealthy business people elsewhere I suspect we would see the same thing, just with varying names.

pinkksugarmouse · 23/02/2026 21:45

I didn't say I wanted him to get attacked. I said I wanted him to fear being attacked. Not the same.

Kinda splitting hairs though. The general assumption would be that he's scared of being attacked because he's in a situation where he could be attacked. Like being in a prison.

Beesandhoney123 · 24/02/2026 21:43

@deeahgwitch thank you.

I don't see how Starmer can resign or have a vote of no confidence. He's effectively blocked anyone who might be able to take over.

The tories have no one, there are no other parties.

I'm not interested in just women or just men, or their background - just their ability to do the job, not be corrupt and not change their mind with the wind.

Starmer apologising isn't enough. Words cost nothing. How can he apologise yet hand mandelson £40k for leaving? Surely his contract negates this?

But they aren't big on small print are they? Look at the Rwanda debacle.

Let's not forget Michelle Mone the Tory Peer and the millions she recieved for flogging useless PPE (because making bras means you know all about medical supplies) via Michael Gove's VIP fast lane for contracts . the country is still waiting for her to pay back £150 million.

The photo of him in a white thong managed to replace the image of him taking a leak outside someone's expensive house in Notting Hill. I wonder will any future photos of him be able to replace the thong?
