> The BBC understands Sir Lindsay passed on information he received in the British Virgin Islands, on a visit last week, that Lord Mandelson was planning to travel there.
Mandelson denies this emphatically but I think it is fair and proper that the House speaker reported this. Don’t take any chances with this situation as it is embarrassing enough that lots of people knew Mandelson was associated with Epstein for years and he was able to keep being shielded into getting luxurious government jobs.

It seems somewhat deluded and showing as to his arrogance that Mandelson thought he could just rock up at an airport and hop on a flight?

What would be the point of fleeing to BVI though? there’s automatic extradition, it’s a British overseas territory.
I know it’s a favoured place for British white collar crooks to go but if the government of the UK want you back they can absolutely do so. In the case of Mandelson he is proving to be very useful as far as government PR and “getting things done” so he would be plucked from there without question.

Hoyle had a duty to pass the information to the police. It’s up to the police to deem it credible enough to act upon it
