CHANNEL 4 aired a three-part documentary, The Tony Blair Story, in mid-February. It was a history of the present back to the 1980s, albeit other histories are available.One person, close to Blair, who was interviewed in each episode, was Peter Mandelson. Each episode also concluded with a disclaimer that Mandelson had been interviewed before the full details of his connection to Jeffrey Epstein was known.It was, however, a reminder — needed by the few if not the many — that Mandelson was central to the New Labour project and remained so until very recently.
