Labour MSP urged to quit over friendship with sex offender

15 January 2026

Labour MSP Pam Duncan-Glancy has been urged to immediately quit Holyrood following a fresh report about her friendship with a convicted sex offender.

Last month, the Glasgow politician announced she would not seek re-election in May after it emerged she maintained contact with a former Labour councillor following his conviction in 2017 for having indecent images of children.

The Daily Record, external has since reported that Duncan-Glancy continued her friendship with Sean Morton after he was jailed last year for further offences.

Labour leader Anas Sarwar said he was not aware of the details of the report, but said he expected the "highest standards" from his MSPs.

Morton, a former councillor for Fochabers Lhanbryde, was ordered in 2017 to carry out unpaid work and put on the sex offenders register after he pled guilty to possessing indecent child images and extreme pornography.

Duncan-Glancy, who was elected to Holyrood in 2021, stood down from her party's frontbench in December after the Daily Record reported that the pair had maintained contact.

The MSP, who had been selected to stand for Labour in May's Holyrood election, later said she would stand down at the poll, saying she did not want "a personal friendship to become a distraction".

It has now emerged that Morton was jailed in January last year after pleading guilty to possessing indecent photographs of children and breaching his sexual offences order. He was given two 16-month sentences, backdated to May 2024.

The Daily Record said Duncan-Glancy continued the friendship following his release, reporting Morton attended her birthday celebrations late last year.

Duncan-Glancy asked a question during First Minister's Questions on Thursday via video link.

She has been asked to comment.

'Disturbing saga'

SNP MSP Rona Mackay MSP said: "These latest revelations raise serious questions about Anas Sarwar's handling of this disturbing saga.

"For Ms Duncan-Glancy's friendship to continue with Mr Morton until she was approached by the Daily Record is staggering - but the news about Mr Morton's further convictions in 2025 make Scottish Labour's decision to approve her candidacy, given her friendship with Mr Morton, utterly unbelievable.

"If Pam Duncan-Glancy is not fit to sit on Labour's front bench or be a candidate, then this latest information shows she is not fit to carry on as an MSP until the election in May."

Sarwar, speaking after First Minister's Questions, said he was did not know the details of the latest news report.

He said Duncan-Glancy had "already accepted her error of judgement in maintaining with this individual".

Sarwar told BBC Scotland News: "And as you know she is not a candidate come the election in May."

He said he expected the "highest standards" from his MSPs and said he had sought "certain reassurances" from Duncan-Glancy.

THE SALMOND FILES: What is John Swinney Hiding as Anas Sarwar threatens to expose SNP

John Swinney will always put the SNP before the country, Anas Sarwar has claimed.

Mr Sarwar pledged to release what he called the “Salmond files”, a tranche of documents the Government is currently fighting in court not to release.

The information comes from the James Hamilton inquiry into potential breaches of the ministerial code by former first minister Nicola Sturgeon in relation to the Holyrood probe into the handling of harassment complaints against Alex Salmond.

The Government announced it would appeal the decision of the Information Commissioner to release some of the files over fears is could identify the complainers in Mr Salmond’s criminal trial – where he was cleared of more than a dozen sexual offences.

SICK & TWISTED Depraved nun who force-fed terrified children soap and locked them in cellar at Scots care homes jailed

A survivor has told that they 'lived constantly on edge'

Alexander Lawrie

15 Jan 2026

A DEPRAVED nun who carried out a sadistic campaign of abuse against vulnerable children at two care homes has been jailed.

Carol Buirds, 75, kicked, punched and struck several youngsters at homes run by the Catholic order the Sisters of Nazareth in Ayrshire and Midlothian.

Buirds, known as Sister Carmel Rose at the time, forced food into children’s mouths and rubbed bedding soaked with urine into their heads

The sick nun locked one child in an unlit cellar without food or water.

She also assaulted children with a belt, a stick, a wooden ruler and a slipper and repeatedly forced one child to eat soap and laughed when the child was trying to vomit.

One victim was said to have been left mute for five years and a second was hospitalised for 12 months due to the trauma and abuse inflicted on them by Buirds.

The offences all took place at two Nazareth House facilities in Lasswade, Midlothian, and Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, and an unknown location in Dunbar, East Lothian, between September 1975 and May 1981.

Buirds, of Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, was found guilty of offences of assault and using cruel and unnatural treatment by a jury following a five week trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in November last year.

She appeared for sentencing today where Sheriff Iain Nicol said there was “no appropriate sentence other than a custodial one” in this case and jailed Buirds for 15 months.

Co-accused Eileen McElhinney, 78, was found guilty of two assault charges and three of cruel and unnatural treatment carried out at Nazareth House in Lasswade between November 1972 and January 1975.

McElhinney, of Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire, known as Sister Mary Eileen, assaulted one young boy by punching him and attacked a second victim by repeatedly striking his buttocks with a hairbrush.

Sheriff Nicol imposed a probation order on McElhinney where she will have to complete 240 hours of unpaid work.

The former nun was also placed on a restriction of movement order where she will have stay within her home between 4pm and midnight for the next nine months.

Third accused Dorothy Kane, 68, a retired children’s home worker, was found guilty of two charges of using cruel and unnatural treatment towards children between March 1980 and August 1981.

Kane, of Lasswade, Midlothian, was found to have dragged one child along a corridor and restrained him by placing her knees on his chest and failed to step in when she witnessed a member of staff assaulting the boy.

Sheriff Nicol sentenced Kane to a community service order where she will have to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.

One survivor who gave evidence against depraved Carol Buirds said: “There is only word to describe my time at Nazareth House – fear.

“I was sent to that home as a young child where I lived constantly on edge, scared I would be punished no matter what I did.

“No one wanted to listen, no one wanted to hear about the abuse I endured and I have carried that trauma throughout my life alone. Until today.

“It just felt right seeing the handcuffs on the woman who abused me as a child.

“Today I have been heard. Today and forever more I am believed.”

Digby Brown Solicitors is supporting multiple survivors of abuse at Nazareth House.

Senior Associate Catherine Hammond said: “The sentences handed down at Edinburgh Sheriff Court reflect the seriousness of the sustained and cruel treatment inflicted on young residents more than 40 years ago.

“Our client, along with others who were subject to harm in these institutions, has shown immense strength in seeking justice and truth.

“We hope today’s outcome offers some measure of validation and contributes to their wider journey of recovery.”

SNP refuses to launch grooming gang inquiry despite 'sinister' evidence kids are still being exploited

The Scottish Government is under growing pressure to finally launch an independent inquiry into child sexual exploitation but Jenny Gilruth once again rejected calls, despite damning evidence from a care home worker about Asian groomers targeting a teenager.

David Walker

20 Jan 2026

The Scottish Government has doubled down on its refusal to launch a grooming gang inquiry despite "sinister" evidence that vulnerable girls are still being exploited by criminal gangs. Reports at the weekend suggested that females in care homes were being showered with gifts and money and being groomed.

A whistleblower, who has worked in residential care homes for two decades, revealed that children in Scotland were still being groomed by gangs - and hit out at SNP Ministers for their inaction. John Swinney has played down the scandal north of the border, blocking calls for an independent probe.

But he was forced into a partial u-turn last year after a number of survivors came forward to prove that the issue was cross-border and not just affecting England. However, he just announced a review into cases, and it is being overseen by a number of quangos who have been accused of "checking their own homework."

"Jane" described one horror story in the Mail on Sunday of a vulnerable girl who was exploited by Asian groomers who sent her gifts, including a second phone, so that they could keep in contact. She intercepted a gift which was "a box of sweeties but with another mobile phone hidden inside. Another kid told me the girl had been sending naked pictures of herself to the guys in the shop.

"All the signs were there of grooming and CSE [child sexual exploitation]. We told police and they said: 'She's 16, there's nothing we can do'. If we think a child shouldn't have a phone because it is how they are being groomed, we have to jump through so many hoops and lawyers and red tape. It's nearly impossible."

The Scottish Tories have been campaigning for an inquiry, with justice spokesman Liam Kerr bringing the issue up at Holyrood on Tuesday. He said: "I think the sinister revelations that grooming gangs putting mobile phones into residential care homes exposes, once again, how much remains unknown and how sophisticated these vile predators actually are.

"But while a full inquiry would shine a light on all the dark corners of this nefarious, vicious practice, this government contents itself with an ill defined review. Surely in light of these latest revelations, the Cabinet Secretary now concedes that what is needed here is not a review, but the full inquiry that everyone is demanding."

SNP Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth shot down these calls, pointing out that she is not ruling out an inquiry, but "there is a need or an evidence base" and that work is ongoing, with a substantial update on this being scheduled for February.

Speaking afterwards, Mr Kerr described this rejection as "wrong" as a "mere review simply will not cut it for those children in care being targeted by these predators." He went on: "Even their own experts warned months ago that there was little evidence that professionals had the support required to help these vulnerable children, but still SNP ministers have failed to act.

“The only way justice will be delivered for grooming gang victims in Scotland is if the SNP finally back our calls for a full and fearless independent inquiry. That’s the very least victims deserve."

'What has John Swinney got to hide' as he blocks Nicola Sturgeon document release

The First Minister has ordered his Scottish Government to go to court to block the release of evidence gathered about whether Nicola Sturgeon breached the ministerial code when she was grilled by MSPs on the Alex Salmond Inquiry committee.

David Walker

19 Jan 2026

John Swinney is under growing pressure to finally publish secret Nicola Sturgeon evidence - after he was slammed by a former Scottish Government colleague who asked "what has he got to hide?" The Scottish Government is embroiled in court action over its refusal to publish documents gathered by former independent adviser to the ministerial code James Hamilton.

SNP Ministers have used numerous excuses to block evidence supplied to Mr Hamilton during his probe into whether the former First Minister breached the ministerial code when she appeared in front of the Alex Salmond Inquiry. A freedom of information request submitted in April 2021 remains outstanding, and has cost taxpayers thousands.

Now, independent MSP and former SNP Cabinet Secretary Fergus Ewing has demanded that Mr Swinney prove he is "committed to obeying the law" by publishing these documents and apologising to applicant Benjamin Harrop. The Scottish Information Commissioner has repeatedly asked for this to be published but has been blocked.

Mr Ewing told the Herald: "Mr Harrop has doggedly pursued his case and his arguments have largely been accepted by the Commissioner and the courts in preference to those of the Scottish Government and its expensive lawyers. The First Minister must release the documents, tell the truth and apologise to both Mr Harrop and to the people of Scotland. If he fails to do so the question is 'What has he got to hide?'"

He pointed out that FOI requests are supposed to be answered in 20 working days under the law, but these requests have taken "over five years spanning three parliamentary terms". He added that this wait "surely constitutes clear evidence that the SNP Government shows contempt for the law of the rights of citizens of freedom of information."

The Scottish Information Commissioner David Hamilton has said that the government faces potential contempt of court proceedings if it refuses to publish some of these files by January 22. He has already criticised it for withholding documents using different reasons.

Mr Ewing said: "On Friday the Commissioner said 'the government’s last minute response reflects poorly on ministers and disrespects the applicant and the wider Scottish Public on a matter of significant public interest'. Given the Commissioner has himself ordered the release of documents, it now appears that the Scottish Government’s argument that they cannot do so because of the risk of 'jigsaw ID; is simply a pretext which is being used to as an excuse to withhold all of the documents from the public.

>>24159345

………………………………………………………………………………….continued…………………………………………………………………………………..

"It is now clear that one of the applications Mr Harrop has made, that in April 2021, which is being challenged in the courts by the Scottish Government, will not be concluded until after the Holyrood elections in May, raising questions about what exactly they have to hide from the public. It also means that it will have taken over five years and a full Session of Parliament to block an FOI request.

"Whilst the First Minister repeatedly asserts his unshakeable commitment to obeying the law and to the rule of law, he appears ready to flout the law in failing to comply with the Commissioner’s direction, and block and obstruct the application of the law by using every trick in the book, and huge sums of taxpayers money, to delay, deny and obfuscate."

Scottish Tory MSP Murdo Fraser blasted the current situation, telling the Scottish Daily Express: “This shameful episode sums up the SNP government’s addiction to secrecy and cover-up. John Swinney still has no problem squandering public money trying to defend his government’s reputation, rather than doing the right thing and releasing these files.

“Given Fergus Ewing once sat around the Cabinet table with the First Minister, this is a withering verdict on Swinney’s actions from a former colleague. It is time the SNP ditched their appeals in relation to this case and acted transparently for once.”

A Scottish Government spokesperson said: “The Scottish Government has lodged an appeal with the Court of Session challenging the Scottish Information Commissioner's decision on a freedom of information request for evidence submitted to the Hamilton investigation.

"We consider that the Commissioner erred in relation to the law on whether the information can be withheld because it risks breaching contempt of court orders. The Scottish Government cannot release information which would amount to a contempt of court. It would otherwise not be appropriate to comment on what is now live litigation.”

Police officers jailed for attempting to frame two men

8 hours ago

Two police officers have been jailed for violating their duty and attempting to pervert the course of justice. Connor Beggs, 32, and Kevin Montgomery, 35, deliberately botched an investigation into a domestic assault and framed two innocent men in Inverclyde.

The pair were found guilty last month following a trial at Greenock Sheriff Court and returned to the dock to be sentenced. Montgomery, who had falsified witness statements from a man and a woman, was jailed for nine months while Beggs received an eight month sentence.

The duo were convicted of failing to conduct a full and thorough investigation and failing to proactively pursue perpetrators over an incident at an Arnold Clark branch in Greenock in 2021. They entered false information into Police Scotland systems and tried to conceal the existence of CCTV footage. They then submitted a report to the procurator fiscal containing false information, implicating two men for a crime they knew they did not commit. They failed to notify the police control room that they were dealing with a domestic incident, failed to take witness statements, failed to comply with operating procedures, failed to enter a record of the alleged offences, and failed to report the offenders to the procurator fiscal "with all due speed".

Sheriff Tom Ward said the men had carried out an "abject dereliction of duty and, even worse, an attempt to pervert the course of justice."

He said their actions were "egregious behaviour" and could only be dealt with via a custodial sentence.

'High standards at all time'

Their lawyers had asked for them to be spared prison and placed on Community Payback Orders.

Beggs resigned from the force when he learned of the criminal investigation.

The court heard Montgomery, who is still a serving officer, is expecting to lose his job when internal disciplinary proceedings came to an end.

Police Scotland Ch Supt Helen Harrison said: "The actions of Montgomery and former officer Beggs go against everything Police Scotland stands for.

"All officers are bound by our standards of professional behaviour, which apply on and off duty.

"It is right that policing is held to high standards at all times, and we will always support officers and staff acting with our values and standards at heart."

She added: "The case for Montgomery will now be assessed for misconduct under the conduct regulations."

https://ethicalapproach.co.uk/imperium_now.pdf

How imperium survived by changing its form and why we are still living inside it

Introduction

The Most Comforting Falsehood in Western History

One of the most enduring beliefs in Western civilisation is that Rome fell.

That belief is reassuring.

It suggests an ending.

It implies rupture.

It allows modern societies to imagine themselves as new, liberated and fundamentally different from that which preceeded.

This paper argues that belief to be false.

Rome did not fall.

It withdrew from visibility.

What collapsed was not imperium, but its overt form.

Power did not disappear - it merely migrated.

Understanding this is essential because many of the frustrations people experience today with governance, accountability, truth and democracy do not arise from modern failure, but from ancient continuity.

1. Why Societies Prefer the Myth of Collapse

Civilisations like to believe that empires fall because collapse implies:

• moral closure

• historical distance

• freedom from inheritance

If Rome fell, then no one inherited it. If no one inherited it, then no one is responsible for what followed. This belief serves a psychological purpose.

It allows modern systems to present themselves as fresh starts rather than evolved continuations. But history does not work that way.

Power rarely vanishes. Instead, it adapts.

2. What Actually Happened to Rome

By the fourth and fifth centuries, the Western Roman Empire faced a problem it could not solve by force alone. Its challenges were structural:

• military overstretch

• fiscal exhaustion

• declining legitimacy

• internal corruption

• public disengagement

Crucially, Rome’s greatest vulnerability was not invasion - it was visibility.

Imperial power had become:

• too centralised

• too blameworthy

• too exposed

• too associated with injustice

The solution was not abolition of power. It was reconfiguration.

3. Imperium Without an Emperor

As emperors became liabilities, authority began to detach from individual rulers and embed itself in structures.

This marked a decisive transition:

• from personal rule to institutional rule

• from visible authority to abstract authority

• from command to administration

The empire did not end. It learned how not to be seen.

This is the moment imperium became structural rather than personal and therefore far harder to confront.

4. Why the Roman Catholic Church Became the Successor

When visible empire became untenable, imperium required a new host.

The institution best positioned to absorb it was the Roman Catholic Church. This was not a conspiracy, but was an institutional inevitability.

The Church possessed everything imperium required to survive:

Continuity

It already spanned former imperial territory and transcended political borders.

Hierarchy

Its diocesan structure mirrored Roman provincial administration - not symbolically, but functionally.

Legitimacy

Moral authority replaced military authority. Obedience was reframed as virtue.

Administration

Roman legal logic survived in canon law.

Taxation survived in tithes. Record-keeping, courts, and discipline all continued. Rome did not fall into the Church. The Church inherited Rome’s governing role.

>>24183478

……………………………………………………………………………….continued……………………………………………………………………………….

5. From Coercion to Conscience

This transition marked the most important evolution in imperium’s history.

Military empires rely on force. Ecclesiastical empires rely on internal compliance.

Under the Church:

• authority became sacred rather than political

• dissent became heresy rather than treason

• obedience became salvation rather than duty

This was imperium perfected:

• control without legions

• obedience without violence

• authority without accountability

Power no longer needed to compel. It needed only to be believed.

6. The Survival of Roman Governance Logic

Even as kingdoms rose and fell, Roman logic persisted:

• hierarchy

• legalism

• procedure

• delegated responsibility without ownership

Imperium no longer wore armour or issued decrees. It governed through norms, institutions and moral framing. By the time secular states re-emerged, they inherited:

• Roman administrative structure

• ecclesiastical moral authority

• and later, Augustan invisibility of power

This fusion defines modern governance.

7. Why Rome Had to “Fall” in the Story

The myth of Rome’s fall performs a vital function. It hides continuity.

If Rome collapsed, then modern institutions are new.

If modern institutions are new, then they can deny inheritance.

If inheritance is denied, accountability dissolves.

But Rome did not disappear. It changed its appearance in order to persist and persist it has.

8. The Modern Parallel

Today, power again avoids visibility.

We see:

• authority without authors

• decisions without ownership

• investigations without conclusions

• rights without enforcement

Citizens are encouraged to participate but not to govern. To speak but not to decide. To trust but not to verify.

This is not democratic failure. It is imperial continuity.

9. Why This Model Is Now Breaking Down

The Roman-ecclesiastical-administrative model relies on one condition above all others: belief.

• Belief in legitimacy.

• Belief in process.

• Belief that someone, somewhere, is accountable.

That belief is eroding.

• Information escapes containment.

• Contradictions accumulate.

• Institutions contradict themselves.

• Citizens notice patterns.

The system now faces the same problem late Rome faced: It can no longer tell the truth about itself and retain authority.

Conclusion: Rome Is Not Behind Us Rome did not die in 476 AD. It learned how to survive scrutiny. The imperium which governs today no longer calls itself empire.

It calls itself administration, regulation, order, stability and democracy.

But its core logic remains unchanged:

• power without ownership

• authority without accountability

• obedience framed as virtue

We are not living after Rome. We are living inside its final form.

And like all imperia which outlive their legitimacy, this one now faces a choice:

To confront truth, or to retreat further into illusion.

History suggests what happens next depends not on institutions, but on whether the people are willing to recognise what they have inherited.

Not one man or woman jailed since at least 1998 with the Devolution Scotland Act I think he suggested, was jailed lawfully. All convictions were UNCONSTITUTIONAL. All are due reparations, all should be released. Guilt is not the issue. The issue is that all were prosecuted fraudulently and those who sat in judgement did so in fraud. Everything done in fraud is fraud.

None are getting answers and all are being blocked at every turn. Silence, buck passing, denial…. not to mention disappearing evidence.

And still they raise taxes and increase (their own) wages…all at the expense of the taxpaying public as they shed blood, sweat and tears to pay these parasites.

Disgraced Andrew Everywhere in Epstein Files – From Multiple Sexual Indiscretions to a Romance With Ghislaine Maxwell and Sharing Afghanistan Confidential Document With Late Pedophile

How low can Andrew go?

The three and a half million documents from the latest – and apparently last – release from the DOJ following the approval of the House Resolution 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, are out.

Around the world, journalists are digging into the mother lode, but we can already say that disgraced former British Prince Andrew is the elite figure most featured in the damaging files.

We already reported about a 2010 email exchange in which Jeffrey Epstein, fresh out of Florida prison, sets ‘Randy Andy’ with a 26-year-old Russian woman, once again shattering the former duke’s lies that he severed ties with the late pedophile after his conviction.

He is also featured inviting Epstein and women friends for a dinner at Buckingham Palace – ‘with lots of privacy’.

Former British Ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson Resigns From Labour Party After Epstein Revelations, Money Transfer and Underwear Photo – Will Be Summoned by Oversight Committee

Out of all the political players whose involvement with the Jeffrey Epstein ring is being revealed by the 3 million new documents released by the US DOJ, Lord Peter Mandelson is one of the most affected so far, second only to former Prince Andrew.

One by one, all the lies Mandelson has been telling about his deep and long-standing Epstein ties are crashing down in flames.

Now, with the last shameful and vexatious revelations, including money transfers and a picture of a member of the House of Lords in his underwear.

As a consequence, Mandelson was forced to resign his membership of the Labour Party so as to ‘not cause further embarrassment’ to the party by his Epstein links.

BBC reported:

Out of all the political players whose involvement with the Jeffrey Epstein ring is being revealed by the 3 million new documents released by the US DOJ, Lord Peter Mandelson is one of the most affected so far, second only to former Prince Andrew.

One by one, all the lies Mandelson has been telling about his deep and long-standing Epstein ties are crashing down in flames.

Now, with the last shameful and vexatious revelations, including money transfers and a picture of a member of the House of Lords in his underwear.

As a consequence, Mandelson was forced to resign his membership of the Labour Party so as to ‘not cause further embarrassment’ to the party by his Epstein links.

BBC reported:

“The former cabinet minister, who was sacked as US ambassador last year because of his past connections to Epstein, appeared in the latest release of files by the US Department of Justice on Friday.

Documents suggest Epstein made $75,000 (£55,000) in payments to Lord Mandelson in three separate $25,000 transactions in 2003 and 2004.

In his letter to Labour’s general secretary on Sunday, Lord Mandelson said: ‘I have been further linked this weekend to the understandable furor surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and I feel regretful and sorry about this’.”

If all that was not enough, Lord Mandelson will reportedly be summoned to give evidence before the US House Oversight Committee on his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

The Telegram reported:

“Sources close to the US House oversight committee, which has spearheaded the release of millions of government-held files on the pedophile financier, said it was poised to issue the peer with a demand to testify in Washington.

It believes Lord Mandelson, who was sacked as British ambassador to Washington in September over revelations about his relationship with Epstein, may have crucial information about co-conspirators and enablers of Epstein’s crimes.”

Peter Mandelson faces a criminal police investigation that, as a cabinet minister, he leaked confidential information to the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

[Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https://channel4news.substack.com/sub…]

This is the end of a chequered career for the man who quit the cabinet twice, resigned as UK ambassador to Washington, left his beloved Labour party and, now, relinquished the final bauble: the House of Lords.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Mandelson “let the country down” over his friendship with Epstein and Mandelson has expressed regret for ever placing his trust in the convicted paedophile.

We also speak to a woman who was abused by the financier when she was just 14-years-old and tells us of the continuing toll of this global scandal.

Epstein files fallout: Andrew out of Royal Lodge - as police investigate Mandelson | ITV News

A criminal investigation has been launched into Lord Mandelson amid allegations he passed market-sensitive information to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Met Police Commander Ella Marriott confirmed the force "has now launched an investigation into a 72-year-old man, a former Government Minister, for misconduct in public office offences".

It comes hours after the Lord Speaker confirmed Mandelson will step down from the House of Lords following fresh allegations concerning his relationship and dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.

Number 10 said they had passed material to the police after an initial review of documents released as part of the so-called Epstein files found they contained “likely market-sensitive information” and official handling safeguards had been “compromised”.

On Tuesday evening, a government spokesperson confirmed they will "provide whatever support and assistance the police need" in their investigation.

Earlier, former prime minister Gordon Brown said that he had written to Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley “with information relevant to his investigation of Lord Mandelson’s disclosure of market sensitive and confidential government information” to Jeffrey Epstein.

Mandelson has insisted Epstein’s money did not influence his actions in government.

He will formally retire from the House of Lords on February 4, the newly-installed Lord Speaker Lord Forsyth of Drumlean said.

A Downing Street spokesperson said: “It is right that Peter Mandelson will no longer be a member of the House of Lords.

“As the prime minister said this morning, Peter Mandelson let his country down.”

Speaking exclusively to ITV News on Tuesday, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said the revelations have been "truly shocking".

Cooper sacked Mandelson as US ambassador in September, and was in government with him during the period over which he allegedly forwarded emails on to Epstein.

She said: "I removed Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US very shortly after being appointed as foreign secretary.

"There's clearly been a lot of information that just was not known and these revelations, for me, as someone who was in the Treasury at the time of the financial crisis, I find truly shocking."

Despite resigning, Mandelson will keep his title as a Lord.

This is because a life peerage cannot be relinquished – an Act of Parliament is needed to do that.

A law change to remove peerages last happened more than 100 years ago, when the Titles Deprivation Act 1917 (TDA) was created after the First World War to remove peerages from "enemies" of the UK.

The prime minister’s official spokesman said Starmer opened Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting by saying he was “appalled by the information that had emerged over the weekend in the Epstein files”.

“He said the alleged passing-on of emails of highly sensitive government business was disgraceful, adding that he was not reassured that the totality of information had yet emerged,” the spokesman said.

The Peter Mandelson Epstein files emails is the biggest scandal of Keir Starmer's time as Prime Minister, but is it the one to finish him off?

[Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https://channel4news.substack.com/sub…]

The PM admits Peter Mandelson's ongoing relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein came up as part of the vetting process to appoint the disgraced peer as the UK's man in Washington, but he says Mandelson 'lied and lied again’, adding, ‘he betrayed our country and our party’.

The government's invective shows their determination to distance themselves from the scandal but the stench of sleaze and corruption hangs heavy over the Labour government because of Mandelson - the man Keir Starmer was praising less than a year ago.

Could it be the final straw for the Prime Minister's restless backbenchers?

On this episode of The Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy was joined by Starmer biographer Tom Baldwin, the political commentator Zoe Williams and pollster and strategist Scarlett Maguire.

Morgan McSweeney has quit as the prime minister’s chief of staff, saying he takes "full responsibility" for advising Sir Keir Starmer to appoint Lord Mandelson as US ambassador.

Starmer's right-hand man had faced intensifying calls from within the Labour Party to go after being blamed by many for pushing the appointment of Lord Mandelson.

Mandelson was sacked as the Prime Minister's top diplomat in Washington last year over his relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Since then, he has resigned from the Labour Party and stepped down from the House of Lords after new documents released from the US Justice Department suggested he leaked market-sensitive information to Epstein during the financial crisis.

In a statement released on Sunday, McSweeney said the decision to appoint Lord Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US was “wrong” and he takes “full responsibility” for advising Starmer to do so.

McSweeney said: “After careful reflection, I have decided to resign from the Government.

"The decision to appoint Peter Mandelson was wrong. He has damaged our party, our country and trust in politics itself.

“When asked, I advised the Prime Minister to make that appointment and I take full responsibility for that advice.

Reacting to his chief of staff’s departure, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: “It’s been an honour working with Morgan McSweeney for many years.

"He turned our party around after one of its worst ever defeats and played a central role running our election campaign.

"It is largely thanks to his dedication, loyalty and leadership that we won a landslide majority and have the chance to change the country.

“Having worked closely with Morgan in opposition and in government, I have seen every day his commitment to the Labour Party and to our country. Our party and I owe him a debt of gratitude, and I thank him for his service.”

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said the prime minister should “take responsibility” for his actions, in reaction to his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney’s departure.

She said on X: “It’s about time.

“But once again with this PM it’s somebody else’s fault: ‘Mandelson lied to me’ or ‘Morgan advised me’.

“Keir Starmer has to take responsibility for his own terrible decisions. But he never does.”

Meanwhile more emails have emerged from the Epstein files relating to the then-Prince Andrew.

They appear to show he invited Jeffrey Epstein and a Romanian woman, described as "very cute" to Buckingham Palace.

Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.

“The party and I owe him a debt of gratitude”. That was Sir Keir Starmer's response to the departure of Morgan McSweeney, his trusted chief of staff and the man credited with steering Labour to victory in the general election.

It's reported that the PM has now appointed the two deputies to take over as acting chiefs of staff with immediate effect. But opposition leaders and some Labour backbenchers too say Sir Keir himself should take ultimate responsibility for appointing Peter Mandelson as US ambassador and follow Mr McSweeney out of the door.

The Prime Minister appeared to calm nerves among Labour MPs last night, and succeeded in having every Cabinet Minister tweet a supportive message.

But the Gorton and Denton by-election at the end of this month could change the Prime Minister's position substantially.

Feb 10, 2026 The Fourcast | Podcast

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is once again at the centre of serious allegations connected to Jeffrey Epstein, with police now assessing whether a criminal case will follow over allegations he leaked documents to Epstein during his time as a trade envoy for the government. So could the former prince really face jail time?

But beyond the legal questions lies a deeper one about power, privilege and accountability. Will this just be another royal scandal that fades with the news cycle, or a moment of reckoning for the Crown?

On this episode of The Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by Dr Tessa Dunlop, royal historian and host of the podcast Where Politics Meets History, and Professor Jeremy Horder - professor of Criminal Law at LSE.

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein; in particular he has denied the allegation he had sex with Virginia Giuffre when she was 17 and was trafficked by the US financier.
