Peter Mandelson, Keir Starmer and Questions Around Influence
The re-emergence of figures like Peter Mandelson alongside Keir Starmer continues to divide opinion. For some, it signals experience and political pragmatism. For others, it raises questions about how much the past is shaping Labour’s present direction. As reported by BBC.co.uk, the situation has intensified following issues tied to Mandelson’s US security clearance and the wider fallout from his appointment.
Britons sheltering in place in Dubai still aren't paying any tax
By Peter Mandelson, formerly Baron Mandelson of Foy THIS weekend we lost a man who the world knew only by his rare public appearances, but one I was privileged to call friend. Despite our differences. Yes, the Ayatollah Khamenei and I may not have had much in common on paper. He was the Supreme Leader of Iran while I was only ever Britain’s Grand Vizier. He was anti-Semitic and homophobic while I’m gay and Jewish. He had a beard and I don’t.

2nd March 2026 By Peter Mandelson, formerly Baron Mandelson of Foy THIS weekend we lost a man who the world knew only by his rare public appearances, but one I was privileged to call friend. Despite our differences. Yes, the Ayatollah Khamenei and I may not have had much in common on paper. He was the Supreme Leader of Iran while I was only ever Britain’s Grand Vizier. He was anti-Semitic and homophobic while I’m gay and Jewish. He had a beard and I don’t.
British politico Peter Mandelson was arrested over his Jeffrey Epstein connections
We’ve spent a lot of time covering the situation with the degenerate formerly known as Prince Andrew, because in many ways, Andrew’s sordid connection to Jeffrey Epstein was what brought everything out in the open. Because people could pick at that Epstein-Andrew thread, so many other dominoes fell. One of the biggest dominoes? Peter Mandelson, the Labour “kingmaker” and former British ambassador to the United States.
Inside Peter Mandelson's family life - from famous relatives to husband with 19-year age gap
Former Labour Party cabinet minister Peter Mandelson, one of the most notable politicians of the late 1990s and early 2000s, is back in the headlines once again. On Monday, the former ambassador to the United States was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, which are the same allegation faced by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Lord Mandelson was released on bail and was seen returning to his Camden home in the early hours of the morning.
Britský premiér Keir Starmer zatiaľ odoláva tlaku vyvolanému Epsteinovou aférou
Britský premiér Keir Starmer v pondelok vyhlásil, že zostáva na čele vlády napriek rastúcemu tlaku a výzvam na odstúpenie v súvislosti so škandálom okolo jeho rozhodnutia vymenovať Petra Mandelsona za veľvyslanca v USA. Kontroverzia súvisí s jeho väzbami na zosnulého sexuálneho delikventa Jeffreyho Epsteina. Starmer sa snaží upevniť svoju pozíciu po tom, čo vyšlo najavo, že Mandelson udržiaval kontakty s Epsteinom aj po jeho odsúdení v roku 2008.
Jeffrey Epstein and the Currencies of Power
Filed Under elite networks, institutional failure, Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Mandelson, Prince Andrew, social Ponzi scheme Jeffrey Epstein did not merely exploit under-age girls; he built a system that fused sex, money, access, and reputational laundering into a self-sustaining economy of influence. His world was a marketplace in which every individual had a price — but no single price tag.
Britský premiér sa ospravedlnil obetiam sexuálneho predátora Jeffreyho Epsteina
Starmer, ktorý čelí silnému politickému tlaku, tak reagoval na nové obvinenia o Mandelsonových úzkych väzbách na odsúdeného sexuálneho delikventa. Osobne aj finančne Kontroverziu vyvolali nedávno zverejnené dokumenty, ktoré poukazujú na blízke osobné aj finančné kontakty medzi Mandelsonom a Epsteinom. Najnovšia kríza oslabila už aj tak krehkú pozíciu premiéra a vyvolala pochybnosti o jeho úsudku, a to aj medzi členmi vládnej Labouristickej strany.
The allure of Reform
Kemi Badenoch’s travails with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party have taken me back to the politics of the 1980s and the Social Democratic party’s challenge to Labour at the time. Like Reform now, the SDP sought to replace one of the main incumbent parties of British politics, but the SDP’s case went beyond finishing off Labour.
Trump’s lessons for Europe
Donald Trump’s dramatic intervention in Venezuela has achieved much more than to bring a brutal, corrupt dictator and drug trafficker to justice in an American court of law, something which no amount of human rights declarations, international law or indictments in the international criminal court were able to achieve.
Ambassador: UK ramps up defense capabilities, for a stronger transatlantic security posture
Editor’s Note: Peter Mandelson is the United Kingdom’s ambassador to the US. In the below exclusive opinion piece, Mandelson, who took over the role in February, discusses London’s new defense document, released earlier this week. On Monday, the United Kingdom unveiled the new Strategic Defence Review. This comprehensive review will profoundly transform the UK’s warfighting readiness, backed by our biggest contribution to NATO since its creation.
Tech partnership can make US, UK economies great again
Those who enjoyed Christopher Nolan’s 2023 blockbuster film “Oppenheimer” will recall the intensive scientific collaboration and advancement — from Cambridge, England, to Los Alamos, New Mexico — that resulted in the Allied powers winning the race to develop the atomic bomb. Anglo-American partnership on this most lethal of deterrents deepened further in 1962, when over three days in the Bahamas President John F.

Ukraine must not be forced into an unconditional surrender
Increasingly frustrated at the resistance of Volodymyr Zelensky to the unconditional surrender of his country, the president of the United States of America expostulated: “What if anything? What if a bomb drops on your head right now?” After a short “Trump weave” invoking Hunter Biden, he concluded that the Russians would not dare to invade because “they respect me”. The “minerals deal”, with American personnel on the ground, adds some protection – but it will take years to become a reality.

My bid to be chancellor of Oxford
I have spent the past couple of weeks in Oxford rediscovering the art of conversation while campaigning for election as the university’s chancellor. I have sung for my supper in Christ Church Cathedral before being questioned in the SCR on my fitness for the role, and I performed again at evensong at Univ before debating postcolonial reparations over vegetable broth and venison.
Peter Mandelson: Why I should be Chancellor
Lord Peter Mandelson has held positions including Director of Communications for the Labour Party, Secretary of State for Trade, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, and European Commissioner. I think all the main people bidding to be Chancellor have in common their love of the University and desire to see it flourish. But after a lifetime in British and European politics, I think I can bring a wider-angle lens to the role, something to the University from my experience outside it.

Peter Mandelson’s Post President & Chairman of International Advisory Board, Global Counsel 38m On a cold November evening some 51 years ago, I joined around 600 fellow students in occupying the Examination Schools at Oxford. We were united by a campaign for the University to recognise the idea of a Central Students Union as the representative body of Oxford students, and to commit to creating facilities to house the student body for years to come.
linking student fees to inflation is the fairest way forward

Why India can be the perfect peacemaker in Ukraine
This is Modi’s chance to redefine Indian national interest and show global leadership, writes a British politician who advised Tony Blair & ran New Labour’s campaign PM Modi’s visit to Ukraine represents a historical opportunity for India to step up, build on its non-aligned heritage and become a global peacemaker. For the last two years, India and the West have had disagreements on how to deal with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Things can always get worse for the Tories
Before migrating to Wiltshire where I will be for August, I had a friendly dinner with a clutch of Conservative aficionados. Inevitably the conversation turned to the leadership contest and, having disposed of the poison pill, Suella Braverman, they asked me which candidate, as a Labour person, I would fear most.

Why I fat-shamed Keir Starmer
My weekly appearance on the podcast How to Win an Election, which I do with Danny Finkelstein, Polly Mackenzie and Matt Chorley, had succeeded in avoiding embarrassment until last week when, in response to a listener’s question about politicians’ appearance, I was momentarily stuck for something to say about Keir Starmer.

Rachel Reeves may have to put up taxes to fund public services
Over a week ago, just off The Mall leading to Buckingham Palace, the HQ of the Institute for Government was packed with the great and the good. The big draw was Rachel Reeves and the launch of her new book, The Women Who Made Modern Economics. Reeves is the woman making modern economics for Labour right now, and from think tank soirees to City boardroom breakfasts, there's a palpable buzz whenever she enters a room.
The Tories didn’t lose Mid Bedfordshire – Labour won it | The Spectator Australia
In 1975 I travelled as an undergraduate to Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and finally to Israel. I visited refugee camps and met a Palestinian militant, Bassam Abu Sharif, who had been blinded in one eye by a Mossad parcel bomb. I talked to policymakers in each country and heard a range of Israeli opinion.

Prospects for a Keir Starmer premiership: what he can achieve and what stands in his way
I am an optimist about Keir Starmer. His achievement in masterminding Labour’s recovery from its worst defeat since 1935 has so far been remarkable. His leadership of the party is secure: his potential premiership is still a work in progress. But he is well on the way to what would be an astonishing turnaround in Labour’s electoral fortunes: to take the party in a single Parliament from the edge of the electoral abyss at the end of 2019 into government by 2024.

What Starmer can learn from Scholz
I made it through the airport crush to Berlin at the beginning of last week to see how Germany is faring under Olaf Scholz, Angela Merkel’s tough-minded centre-left successor. Under Merkel, Germany was important because it was the key to EU decision-making, but towards the end of her chancellorship, the country slowed down, there was too little change and, as we now know, Merkel misjudged Vladimir Putin’s revanchist ambitions and thirst for personal glory.
Starmer must listen to voters, not Labour factions

Who Plays Who in the Biopic of Creation Records Founder, Alan McGee?
There’s nothing more entertaining than a rock ‘n’ roll biopic, whether cribbed from the pages of greatly exaggerated memoirs or an autobiography that reveals what really went on when the curtain came down. Creation Stories – co-written by Irvine Welsh and with Danny Boyle as a producer – is the latest of these overblown retellings of a piece of musical history, and while not quite as epic as Rocketman, it’s thankfully not quite as bad as Bohemian Rhapsody.

A new strategy for growth Higher taxes will not be enough in themselves to bring down debt and finance an expanded state. Britain will need a strategy for the revival of UK economic growth. If it proves impossible to cut the numerator of public spending, the only strategy is to raise the denominator of national output with a comprehensive growth strategy.

Peter Mandelson: Brexit’s threat to the Irish economy could see voters turn to unification
Tony Blair is not fond of hyperbole. So when he said the other day that “there are politicians prepared to sacrifice the Good Friday Agreement on the altar of Brexit,” adding that “this is irresponsibility that is frankly sickening,” you know something bad is going on.
Will we fail Syrians again?
Like Aleppo, the city of Ghouta has been slaughtered. Hundreds have died this week alone. The siege must end so that we can get the innocent out and treat the critically injured, writes Alison McGovern Just over a year ago we watched as Aleppo fell. We watched a city besieged and laid to waste by its own government. There was a brief moment in the days and weeks leading up to it when I really thought the United Kingdom might help.
A sense of entitlement
The Brexiteers’ indulgence of ‘British exceptionalism’ exposes the false truth of leaving the European Union, argues Roger Liddle The best book I read over Christmas was David Cannadine’s masterly Victorious Century. A central theme of this history of the United Kingdom from 1800 to 1906 is the myth and reality of ‘British exceptionalism’.
Just who was Boris Johnson supposed to be ‘reaching out’ to?
The foreign secretary’s trumpeted olive branch to ‘Remain’ voters reaffirmed his opposition to the one thing that could be construed as a ‘liberal Brexit’, finds Keir Bradwell On the same day the home affairs select committee warned that Britain’s immigration system is completely unprepared for Brexit, the foreign secretary lamented that the prime minister’s current Brexit plans are simply not turbulent enough.
Two houses - Progress
Members of both parliamentary chambers are working together to shape Brexit. Peter Mandelson and Alison McGovern explain how In the 2010 to 2015 parliament, the opposition in the House of Commons beat the government in a meaningful vote six times, including twice in foolishness when the whips where caught napping. In the same parliament, in the House of Lords however, the opposition beat the government on no less than one hundred occasions.
Tick tock - Progress
As the clock runs down on Brexit, Richard Carr charts the 2018 talking points As Tony Blair has pointed out, 2018 will be the year that makes or breaks Brexit. At present, on the biggest question to face the United Kingdom in decades, Labour is not only on the fence but too often sounds like an ill-qualified candidate waffling through a job interview.

Watch your backbenchers: Why individual MPs now call the shots in parliament
Not so long ago, a reader’s letter used to appear in broadsheets almost every week complaining that politicians were too obedient. They were sheep, the letter would grumble, too invested in their own careers to stand up to the party whips or speak their minds, voting through any half-baked nonsense ministers plonked in front of them. Whatever happened to those robust MPs of years past, who followed their consciences and would challenge their governments if it was the right thing to do?

Where did it all go right?
Peter Mandelson and Spencer Livermore exchange reflections on 20 years of running Labour’s election campaigns The Labour party still (just about) retains a lot of institutional memory about how we have fought elections since 1997. We had a good run until 2010 and it is worth recalling why this was so. 1997 was the acme election.
Labour is a national party or it is nothing
Full text of the opening speech of the second day of Progress political weekend 2017, given by Peter Mandelson: Our situation is bad, not for the first time and not yet terminal. Labour’s whole history is one of set backs and resets, the first couple of which didn’t wait long after our first taste of majority government. 1931 was a mega meltdown but by the end of the decade a reset had been achieved paving the way for Attlee’s pioneering postwar administration.
