Nearly two decades ago 'yachtgate', an earlier scandal involving Peter Mandelson, opened a window on the shadowy networks of influence & patronage around Jeffrey Epstein, but we (well, the media) failed to look fully through that window, focussing on only its immediate implications.

Now, looking back, Tamsin Shaw argues it was just one more missed opportunity to shine a light into the shadows... missed wilfully?

"The mere existence of previously unreported rented storage lockers strongly suggests that we’ve only just begun to peel away the outer layers of what’s out there on Epstein and his circle of pedophiles. We owe the British authorities and the British press a big thank you for doing what we have been incapable of because our own institutions are so badly corrupted."

"These developments are distinct, but they point in the same direction: authorities and press in the U.K., along with independent reporters here, are piecing the puzzle together at increasing speed, and the dominoes are falling. Anyone within the Epstein network should be very worried."

Former British ambassador to the U.S. Peter Mandelson was arrested by London police on Monday on suspicion of misconduct in public office, following revelations over his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/24/world/uk-ambassador-mandelson-arrested-epstein/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #petermandelson #uk #jeffreyepstein #us

No-one will be surprised (after the last week of so) that yesterday Peter Mandelson was arrested on suspicion of Misconduct in Public Office;

and, of course, scrambling to distance himself from Mandelson, Kier Starmer has now said that Mandelson 'lied repeatedly' about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Which is all very well but the behaviour he's been arrested for was his (Mandelson's) choice - its a character issue not a connections issue, really!
