Still “a fighter, not a quitter” and ever the spin doctor, Peter Mandelson is getting his defence of his unwise and lingering friendship with Jeffrey Epstein in early.
Mandelson seems to know – maybe tipped off, maybe that feline sixth sense of his, maybe from his own memories – that there is stuff in the Epstein files yet to be released that, as he himself admits, will be gruesome. He told The Sun: “I have no doubt at all that there’s a lot of traffic, correspondence, exchanges between us, absolutely. And we know those are going to surface. We know they’re going to come out. We know they’re going to be very embarrassing, and [we] know that I’m going to profoundly regret ever having met him and been introduced to him in the first place. But I can’t rewrite history.”
