Peter Mandelson and Epstein’s island. The spider in the elites’ global web

About this episode

In the House of Commons, Keir Starmer said that Peter Mandelson had ‘betrayed our country, our parliament and my party’.

But what was that betrayal and who was actually complicit?

On Free State today we look at the rise and fall of Peter Mandelson. We explain why the election of a football mascot monkey as mayor in Hartlepool was an early sign of who Mandelson was. 

We explain how Mandelson worked to undermine Jeremy Corbyn and advance a corporate agenda where New Labour would be ‘intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich’.

We also examine the link between Starmer’s right hand man Cork’s Morgan McSweeney and Mandelson. 

In the House of Commons Starmer said ‘if I knew then what I know now, Mandelson would never have been anywhere near government.’

We show how it was impossible not to know who Peter Mandelson was. Only more details have been revealed.
