Mandelson asked to testify to Congress over Epstein
The Independent
|February 14, 2026
Peter Mandelson has been asked to testify to the US Congress over his relationship with the disgraced paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter, US politicians told the former Labour grandee they thought he had “critical information” that would assist their investigation into Epstein.
Two members of the House of Representatives, Suhas Subramanyam and Robert Garcia, have written to Lord Mandelson asking him to answer questions from the House's oversight committee.
They wrote: "While you no longer serve as British ambassador to the United States and have stepped down from the House of Lords, it is clear that you possessed extensive social and business ties to Jeffrey Epstein and hold critical information pertaining to our investigation of Mr Epstein's operations.
"Given the appalling allegations regarding Mr Epstein's conduct, we request that you make yourself available for a transcribed interview with committee staff regarding the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators."
Lord Mandelson has been given until the end of the month to respond.

SEND must be reformed to keep vital service going
Political consensus is an unusually rare commodity these days, but there does seem to be unanimous agreement that the present system for helping children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) needs radical reform. Aspects of the current regime are grotesque, if not cruel, and have inflicted great distress on children, parents, teachers and everyone else involved. It is a major concern at every level of the state.
