Former prime minister says Mandelson situation is ‘serious’ for Keir Starmer | BBC News
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has told the BBC the situation facing Sir Keir Starmer is “serious” and suggested he may have been “too slow to do the right things” concerning Lord Mandelson.
He also defended him as “a man of integrity” who “wants to do the right things”.
He spoke to the Today programme on Radio 4 in his first interview since the latest Epstein files seemed to show Lord Mandelson gave Epstein advance notice of a €500bn bailout by the EU to save the ailing Euro in 2010.
Another included a 2009 memo in which Brown’s policy adviser Nick Butler wrote about the UK’s struggling economy and recommended selling off government-held assets to raise public funds.
Brown said this was “market-sensitive” information as people can make money from changes in the values of currencies.
Lord Mandelson has not given the BBC an official statement but his position is that he has not acted in any way criminally and that he was not motivated by financial gain.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has apologised to a court for forgetting about biography briefing notes she gave to an aide, in her privacy case against the Mail on Sunday’s publishers.
The Appeal Court heard she had asked an aide to pass on information to the authors of a biography – despite having earlier said she “did not contribute” to the work.
Meghan said she had forgotten the events and had not intended to mislead.
Associated Newspapers is trying to overturn a ruling after it published a letter from the duchess to her father.
Meghan, 40, won her privacy case against the publisher of the Mail on Sunday earlier this year, when the High Court found its publication of the letter was unlawful.

Vice-President JD Vance has said that the US and Iran failed to reach an agreement following lengthy peace talks in Pakistan.
The delegations met in Islamabad during a temporary ceasefire.
Vance said the US “could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms”. Halting Iran’s nuclear capabilities had been a “core goal” that wasn’t reached.
Iran’s foreign ministry says the talks were “intensive”, and called on Washington to refrain from “excessive demands and unlawful requests”.
