The Guardian

The prime minister’s close ally Darren Jones commiserated Peter Mandelson in messages to the sacked US ambassador that were not included in the mass release of documents by the government on Monday.
The prime minister's close ally Darren Jones commiserated Peter Mandelson in messages to the sacked US ambassador that were not included in the mass release of documents by the government on Monday.
Jones's texts included requests for advice on the reshuffle and disobliging comments about the business secretary at the time, Jonathan Reynolds, and the influence of the trade unions. The chief secretary to the prime minister was one of the ministers who said they had nothing to release because they had previously deleted messages or moved phones.
Mandelson, who was sacked in September because of new revelations about his close friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, declined to hand over his own messages. The release of the files was prompted by a parliamentary motion that demanded the mass release of government communications relating to Mandelson.
