Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.
How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?

It seems the BBC censored the winter Olympics opening ceremony by removing the booing from the audio feed.
I know from relatives that attended that Vance and/or the US team were roundly booed in the stadium.

It's not just Starmer who has questions to answer. Mandelson's sleaze was well known. His links to Epstein were public knowledge in 2023, but Anas Sarwar still called him his friend and Douglas Alexander praised him highly when he was appointed UK Ambassador to the US.

When is the Scottish media going to start asking the other parties if they plan to abolish SNP policy on free tuition fees & saddle our young people with this amount of debt if they win the Holyrood election?
“The combined tuition fees of the entire Question Time panel would not cover my cost for 1 year of uni. Is that fair?”
