The former senior Labour figure Peter Mandelson faces a fixed-penalty notice after being caught urinating in public, it has emerged.

Mandelson was photographed in the act while standing outside the home of the former chancellor George Osborne last November, shortly after he had been sacked as the UK’s ambassador to the US over his relationship with the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
