Free.. how shall we celebrate?

PETER Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein shared seedy jokes immediately after the US paedophile’s release from jail, according to newly released US government files.

Mandelson called Epstein a “naughty boy” and quipped about celebrating his freedom, email exchanges between the pair appear to show.

Epstein was in jail for 13 months after admitting soliciting a minor for prostitution in a highly controversial plea deal that meant he avoided dozens of sexual assault charges.

An email sent on the day of his release in July 2009 seems to be a congratulatory message from Mandelson - then a UK government minister under Labour PM Gordon Brown.

He asks how they should mark the occasion, which he refers to as “Liberation day!”.
