Tories call for full investigation into Peter Mandelson as he quits Labour
“Lord Mandelson has resigned from the Labour Party after files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggested he had received $75,000 from the paedophile financier and also lobbied against a tax on British bankers’ bonuses. Mandelson, the former business secretary who was made a peer in 2008, said he did not wish to cause the party “further embarrassment” over his links to Epstein. MPs and ministers had told The Times that Mandelson, who was Sir Keir Starmer’s ambassador to the US until last year, should have his party membership revoked. He said: “I have been further linked this weekend to the understandable furore surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and I feel regretful and sorry about this. Allegations which I believe to be false that he made financial payments to me 20 years ago, and of which I have no record or recollection, need investigating by me. While doing this I do not wish to cause further embarrassment to the Labour Party and I am therefore stepping down from membership of the party.” – The Times

Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride takes aim at UK ‘champions’ of Trump’s tariffs policy
“Conservatives are to criticise US President Donald Trump today, and accuse Reform UK of becoming “the champions of the White House” instead of putting Britain first. Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride will call out Mr Trump’s tariff policies in a speech to business leaders at the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Policy Conference. He will stress the importance of strengthening the UK’s partnership with the US, which remains our biggest trading partner. But the Shadow Chancellor will say: “Tariffs are not the answer to our economic troubles. Increasing trade barriers is unquestionably a step backwards and will leave everyone worse off. So the approach of the current US administration is concerning.” In a dig at Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, Sir Mel will say: “It is disappointing that some politicians in our own country – in the Reform Party, for example – want to be seen as the …
