Epstein and Mandelson: Fabian PM Starmer’s New Scandal May Bring Him Down

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing a rebellion in his own Labour Party from Members of Parliament who are outraged over his coverup of Peter Mandelson’s long relationship with high-flying child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, whom Mandelson called his “best pal.”

“I think the world of you,” Mandelson told the convicted pedophile in 2008 before Epstein began his prison sentence.

“I can still barely understand it. It just could not happen in Britain,” he wrote. “You have to be incredibly resilient, fight for early release and be philosophical about it as much as you can.”

Perhaps the renewed scrutiny of Mandelson will extend to his sordid past as a member of the Communist Party and the Fabian Society, as well as his membership in the globalist Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg group, and the European Commission. (See next story below.)

Epstein Ties

Starmer knew of Mandelson’s Epstein ties when he appointed him to be the British Ambassador to the United States in February 2025. But he was forced to sack him last September after the Epstein connection became a public scandal. Now the January 30, 2026, release by President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice of more than 3 million pages of documents, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images has shown the Epstein-Mandelson ties to be even worse than previously acknowledged. Among that vast cache are documents that appear to show Lord Mandelson and his “husband,” Reinaldo Avila da Silva, receiving a considerable sum of dollars in disbursed payments from Epstein. Documents also suggest that Mandelson provided Epstein with sensitive government information. This resurrects the suspicions of Epstein’s involvement in espionage, bribery, and blackmail.

The U.K. leftist Guardian’s story for February 4, titled “Labour MPs say Starmer’s days as PM are numbered amid fury over Mandelson,” reports: “Labour MPs have warned that Keir Starmer’s days as prime minister are numbered after a day of fury over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador despite his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.” MPs are calling for Starmer to release documents about the Mandelson appointment and his relationship with Epstein. However, Starmer claims that the documents must be sealed because they are subject to a police investigation. He also claims that he didn’t know the full extent of Mandelson’s association with Epstein when he appointed him. His allies are attempting to shift blame to Starmer’s top aide, Morgan McSweeney. Meanwhile, Mandelson has resigned from the Labour Party as well as from the House of Lords.

Mandelson the Fabian

Like Starmer, Peter Mandelson is a longtime member of the Fabian Society, Britain’s oldest and most influential socialist organization. Founded in 1884, the Society’s famous leaders, including George Bernard Shaw and Sidney and Beatrice Webb, were among the earliest and most prominent boosters of the Bolshevik Revolution and Lenin’s Soviet state. In England, they adopted the Fabian stealth strategy of gradual “penetration and permeation” of all institutions and all levels of society.

The Fabians’ primary political vehicle has been the Labour Party, which they have dominated for the past century. The Fabian Society’s website boasts of this dominance and notes that they also have a hegemonic influence in the Starmer government:

We are affiliated to the Labour party and work very closely with Labour politicians, as well as influencing debate across the political spectrum. Every Labour prime minister has been a Fabian and today 100s of Labour politicians are members of the society, including Labour leader Keir Starmer MP and more than half his cabinet, as well as senior figures in devolved and local government. [Emphasis added.] Our elected executive committee currently includes five Labour frontbenchers.

In May 2024, during the run-up to the July elections, the Fabian Society gave Starmer this sendoff:

Every single Labour prime minister has been a Fabian and if Labour wins in July Keir Starmer will join their ranks. Keir was a Fabian before he was elected to parliament, and served on our executive committee. In 2021, he wrote The Road Ahead, a Fabian pamphlet setting out his vision of a fairer, more secure and prosperous Britain, built on Labour values.

A political insider who has been in and out of government for decades, the thrice-disgraced Mandelson earned the sobriquet “Prince of Darkness” for his devious, scheming ways.

Pushing the EU

Mandelson served in senior government posts under Labour prime ministers Tony Blair (another Fabian member) between 1997 and 2001, and Gordon Brown (also a Fabian) from 2008 to 2010. He twice had to resign from positions in the Blair government due to scandals over ethics. But he was protected by powers behind the throne, so he always seemed to fail upward and land in a new position of influence.

Between 2004 and 2008, he was the European Union’s trade commissioner. In that role, he joined with fellow EU globalists Jean Claude Junker, Jacques Chirac, Jose Manuel Barroso, and Valery Giscard d’Estaing in calling for a revote after French and Dutch voters rejected the proposed EU Constitution that would have completely destroyed their national sovereignty. Their original plan was to continue with revotes until opponents were bought off or worn out and the constitution finally passed.

But Mandelson and his Bilderberg confreres came up with an alternative plan that was even more devious: the Lisbon Treaty. They camouflaged the key elements of the proposed EU Constitution and crammed them into the treaty so they could, in essence, enact the EU Constitution under a different label without subjecting it to repeated defeats in national referendums. It worked. It was a replay of their Maastricht Treaty scheme that overcame national opposition to the transformation of the European Community (EC) into the European Union (EU) with expanded EU powers and a new EU currency, the euro.

Mandelson played a central role in the globalist Deep State effort to defeat Brexit, the successful 2016 effort by British voters to take Great Britain out of the European Union. He served on the board of “Britain Stronger in Europe,” the official “Remain” campaign opposing Brexit, and was known as a leading “Remainiac.”

Starmer Trying to Distance Himself

Now he is known as toxic, and erstwhile “friends” are running from him. Starmer Health Secretary Wes Streeting, a fellow homosexual Labourite, released WhatsApp messages between himself and Mandelson, intending to convince the public that media coverage linking him closely to Mandelson is bunk. “Contrary to what has been widely reported, I was not a close friend of Peter Mandelson,” he wrote in a February 9 op-ed in The Guardian, although Streeting admitted his live-in “partner,” Joe Dancey, got his start in Labour politics working under Mandelson. Oops! Not real convincing, and with things starting to get real messy Starmer moved quickly to prevent any other loose lips, warning the rest of his officials not to release any messages. All releases, he said, must be done in a “managed process” by the government. His government, of course.

But Starmer’s reign at 10 Downing Street may soon be over. The Mandelson-Epstein affair is but one of a tsunami of scandals du jour that have many erstwhile supporters among the Labour MPs now calling for his resignation. The scandal crisis includes: the Matthew Doyle-Sean Morton serial child sex offender scandal; the Pakistani “grooming gangs” scandal; the mass migration crisis; the China spies national security row; the Chinese Mega-Embassy scandal; and more.
