I am beaming in from a, I'd love to, I wanted to say somewhere really tropical and amazing, but I'm just in my in-law's house.

So if you hear a landline, they still exist here.

Enjoy this blast from the past.

Well, I'm sad not to be there with you, not least just so we can console each other over what is genuinely some of the most horrifying news I've seen.

And we do this podcast every week.

And quite often, understandably, when you hear these tales, you focus on the offenders.

You know, it's monstrous acts and you wonder why.

But I really think we need to put at the heart of this story is the victims, the victims of Epstein and the people around him who took advantage of his money and his influence.

Those women are still fighting for justice.

And these new documents will hopefully get them closer to that.

Now, Lord Mandelson used to be seen as some kind of political genius, so much so his nickname was the Prince of Darkness.

He was instrumental in the rise of New Labour in the 90s and stayed close to the heart of the party, mentoring and advising younger politicians as they rose through the ranks to positions of power.

There are a lot of claims and more are emerging all the time as people review the new documents.

There are more than three million to get through.

The new allegations come from a load of emails between the two men.

Mandelson gave Epstein advance notice of a 500 billion euro bailout from the EU during the global financial crisis.

He sent internal government information about the state of the UK economy in 2009.

Also in 2009, he lobbied the Treasury on banking policy at Epstein's suggestion and he even

told Epstein that JP Morgan should mildly threaten the UK Treasury over bankers' bonuses.

At the time, it was reported that the bank had threatened to pull plans for the bank's new UK headquarters.
