Mandelson caught in tax dodge swindle with paedo Epstein

On 30 January, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) released the latest tranche of Epstein Files. As we reported, the release contained allegations Trump is ‘compromised’ by Israel, and that he raped and beat a child. Another person featured in the latest release is Peter Mandelson. And once again, Mandelson’s connections to Epstein are shaming the Labour government which made him ambassador to the US:

Criminal?

The Financial Times (FT) has published a lengthy piece discussing Mandelson’s connections to Epstein. They also revealed that they first heard about the payments to his husband in September, but they couldn’t confirm them until the latest Epstein Files release:

A trove of emails released on Friday finally confirmed one of the biggest secrets in recent British politics, which the FT was first told about last September but had hitherto been unable to print.

The emails proved that in 2009 and 2010 Reinaldo Avila da Silva, the Brazilian partner of Lord Peter Mandelson, was taking regular undisclosed payments of thousands of pounds from Jeffrey Epstein, even after the disgraced American financier had been jailed for soliciting prostitution from an underage girl in July 2008.

Reportedly, Mandelson asked for the paedo Epstein to make these payments in smaller amounts to avoid tax:

We’re sorry, but we find it hard to believe Mandelson was so hard up for cash he had to:

1. Beg for cash from a convicted sex offender.
2. Have the cash parcelled out into smaller payments to avoid paying tax.

And if he was that hard up for cash, fuck him.

Maybe he should have got a proper job like the rest of us?

Mandelson’s time to go

The FT piece ends as follows:

Downing Street and the Labour Party both refused to comment. One official said Mandelson had taken a leave of absence from the House of Lords and was therefore not technically a Labour peer at present. “Membership of our whip for someone on leave of absence only becomes an issue when/if they apply to return to the House,” they said.

But another MP said: “It’s time he was suspended, put on a disciplinary and then expelled.”

Many others are calling for Mandelson to get the boot (and also that he should be sacked):

If Mandelson was illegally avoiding tax, he needs to face legal consequences.

Given how corrupt the British state is, however, that of course seems unlikely.
