The nature of the relationship that I understood he had with Epstein was not a close friendship.
How I understood it at the time was a passing acquaintance
that he regretted having and that he apologised for.
What has emerged since then was way, way, way worse than I had expected at the time.
And it was when I saw the pictures, when I saw the Bloomberg questions in September 2025, I have to say it was like a knife through my soul.
I did not expect that level of connection that he was talking about there.
That is Morgan McSweeney, the former chief of staff to Keir Starmer and the man who until now has lived in the shadows, explaining why he got it so very badly wrong to support Peter Mandelson as Britain's ambassador to Washington.
I think what was so interesting about his evidence today was to listen to him talking about his relationship with Peter Mandelson, where he says, no, he wasn't.
I was a grown man.
I was in my 40s.
You know, he wasn't my mentor.
I wasn't in kind of hock to him.
I wasn't doing what he asked.
Peter Mandelson, you got the impression, was someone who was such a self-publicist about anything and everything he does that he was kind of busy advancing himself.
Whose idea was it that Peter Mandelson should be the next ambassador?
It was Peter Mandelson's idea that he should be the next ambassador.
Whose idea was it that he should be the chancellor of Oxford University?
It was Peter Mandelson's idea.
Not Peter or Peter Mandelson.
Just Mandelson.
