Keir Starmer has admitted knowing all about his disgraced senior adviser Peter Mandelson’s continuing close ties to serial child-rapist Jeffrey Epstein.
Before he appointed him to be ambassador to the US.
It was already a matter of record that Starmer knew when he told MPs last September that he had full confidence in Mandelson. Mandelson was removed as ambassador shortly afterward — but kept on the government payroll. That month’s Epstein file release underscored Mandelson’s infatuation with Epstein, but their ties had been on record long before.
And now Starmer has admitted that security vetters had warned him — before Mandelson’s US appointment — about the Blairite (now) former peer’s close relationship with the monstrous rapist and child trafficker.
Of course they did. That was never in doubt, but now is admitted. But the cover-up continues.
Starmer [said](http://all/ material relating to the appointment, barring national security and “international relations” exemptions) he will ‘release all material’ relating to the vetting, but with the glaring exception of:
national security and “international relations” exemptions.
‘National security and international relations exemptions’ like Epstein’s status as an Israeli spy.
‘National security and international relations exemptions’ like the ‘who’s who’ of UK and other state officials who enjoyed ‘recreation’ on Epstein’s island — no doubt while Mandelson was there.
‘Exemptions’ like Mandelson’s equally close friendship with former Israeli PM — and alleged brutal rapist — Ehud Barak, whom the latest released files shows trained Epstein as a spy.
No doubt. But none of the ‘mainstream’ media seem to find this obvious issue worth pointing out.
The UK state’s protection of the vilest will no doubt one day be the stuff of textbooks and histories — like Starmer’s collaboration in Israel’s genocide. That is too late.
Full disclosure now — and punishment to the full extent of UK and international law of all those involved whether before, during or after the fact.
