Monologue from today’s Times at One with Andrew Neil: BETRAYAL And still the revelations about Peter Mandleson’s betrayals from the heart of government come, each one more jaw-dropping than the last.  We learned earlier this week that he’d tipped off his convicted pedophile mate about an imminent €500bn bailout of the Eurozone, advance information hugely useful to a financial fixer like Jeffrey Epstein.  Even more incredibly, we saw how he’d advised America’s most powerful banker, via Epstein, to threaten the British government over plans to tax bankers’ bonuses in the wake of the Great Financial Crash, caused by said bankers.  Which the powerful banker then did in an intimidating call to then Chancellor Alastair Darling. A call inspired by the government’s very own business secretary, one Peter Mandleson.  Now we learn that the moment Mandleson was given a note about a highly sensitive meeting between Darling and then US Treasury secretary Larry Summers in March 2010, our business secretary had whisked it to Epstein within five minutes. That’s right. Five. Minutes.  Mandleson then received a second confidential note on the Darling-Summers exchanges. It took him only two minutes to send that to his pedo mate.  The reality is that Epstein had his very own mole at the heart of the British government, sending him secret and confidential information which could profit Epstein and his billionaire banker friends. And that mole was our business secretary.  He even tipped Epstein off about the state of talks between Britain and America over a £10bn aerospace contract to provide the RAF with air-to-air refuelling tankers.  At one stage Mandleson opines to Epstein that the then PM needs to be confined to a sanatorium. Remember Mandleson is saying this of the man who’d revived his political career. It doesn’t get much lower than that. No wonder Brown is seething. Let’s be blunt: the evidence is compelling that Mandleson betrayed himself, his department, his PM, his government, his country.  And let us not forget Mandleson had previously been bunged $75,000 by Epstein. He says he has no recollection of such payments though the bank statements are clear for all to see. But, hey, who hasn’t forgotten a $75,000 gift? Mandleson’s partner also had his snout in the trough. We now learn he received three payments of £4,000 each from Epstein — this on top of £10,000 to take a course in osteopathy. Of course for Epstein it was all chicken feed. He must have been laughing all the way to his insider dealing.  Whether it’s for misconduct in public office, breaching the official secrets act or dealing in insider information, it’s only right that his former lordship be the subject of the most rigorous criminal investigation. And quickly. This should not be allowed to drag on.  But Keir Starmer has almost as many questions to answer as Mandleson. Just how was it that such a snake ended up as our man in Washington? Starmer didn’t know what we now know about Mandleson. But he knew a lot. In a faltering performance at PMQs he’s just admitted he did know of Mandleson’s ongoing relationship with Epstein. But he still appointed him anyway.  Starmer now claims Mandleson lied and lied to him. But my understanding is that Mandleson was never properly quizzed about his links with Epstein, so anxious was Starmer and his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, to shoe-horn him into our palatial embassy on Massachusetts Avenue.  The push is on in Parliament today for the government to reveal all the details of the vetting of Peter Mandleson.  At times like this the default of British governments is to stonewall. But if Starmer truly regrets his Mandleson appointment, which has turned into a political catastrophe for him, he will sanction full disclosure of all relevant material, including who was involved in pressing Mandleson’s appointment.  Nothing less will suffice in what has become the greatest political scandal of our age.

@AnthonyTeasdale Footy, girls(boys), music and going into Town to see if you really should buy that Cerrutti Roll neck! That was it and enough for anyone. Now you can go indoor yachting or something and music doesn’t have that resonance. Hence the amount of listenperson I have 🤣🤣

@AndySonicBuffet I think music was more integral to people's identity then. Now, there's so many other things. We're a dying breed. The last of the old guard.

The truth about mainstream 1980s clubs before acid house changed everything. Am I right?

@AnthonyTeasdale Better than any O level. Do you think people have those moments now? I fist heard Taylor Swift in Coyote Ugly? Salad days

@AndySonicBuffet I loved Macs. First time I heard "Sympathy for The Devil" was there. Proper education. But with lager.

@AnthonyTeasdale Yes we had a variety of places. I never like the rave or house scene I was more indie Go between, Lloyd Cole Martin Stephenson etc. Mardi and McMillans were good. Cumberland for live music. Old streets for a pint

@AndySonicBuffet Hi Andy. I went to the Mardi Gras and Macmillan's in town. Quadrant Park pre (and post) rave. Palm Court in Southport. The She was legendary among lads at the match. Think The End did a thing on it – "The She is back!" Great times. :)
