Town rescinds Mandelson honour over Epstein links
The Guardian
|October 04, 2025
Peter Mandelson is to be stripped of a civic honour he received from Hartlepool, the town he represented as a Labour MP, after the disclosures about his close friendship with the child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Councillors in Hartlepool voted unanimously on Thursday to withdraw the Freedom of Hartlepool from Lord Mandelson, who represented the area between 1992 and 2004.
The peer was sacked as Britain’s ambassador to Washington last month after Downing Street said he had not disclosed the full extent of his relationship with the late financier.
