Feeling of ‘deep betrayal’ across government after Mandelson revelations, Streeting says
Wes Streeting, the health secretary, accused Lord Peter Mandelson of betraying multiple prime ministers following fresh revelations about his links to Jeffrey Epstein.
Streeting stated there is a feeling of "deep betrayal" across government and the Labour Party regarding these developments.
Files released by the US Department of Justice reportedly indicate Lord Mandelson leaked sensitive government information to Epstein.
This alleged leaking occurred while Mandelson was serving as business secretary in Gordon Brown's Labour government.
Sir Keir Starmer is under mounting pressure after the Metropolitan Police announced a criminal investigation into Lord Mandelson over allegations of misconduct in public office.
