Ian Dunt's UK: Anger over Mandelson's Epstein links and a new candidate for Reform

from Late Night Live - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Former UK Labour powerbroker Peter Mandelson is retiring from the House of Lords amid intense scrutiny over his links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The move follows the release of documents suggesting Mandelson exchanged emails with Epstein and, at times, shared sensitive political information with him. British police have launched a criminal investigation into whether Mandelson may have committed misconduct in public office connected to those communications. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has condemned Mandelson’s actions as “disgraceful” and pushed for political reforms to allow peers to be removed more easily. And the by-election that's going to squeeze UK Labour from the left and the right.Guest: Ian Dunt, columnist with i-news; co-host of the Origin Story podcast  Producer: Ali Benton
