A major moment in British politics as Peter Mandelson is arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. 

It relates to his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. 

The former UK ambassador to the US and Labour minister has been accused of passing on information to the sex offender when he was business secretary. 

UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking while this might deflect heat off Keir Starmer in the short term, it’ll likely come back around to him in the end. 

He says that Mandelson was a Labour appointment, and it wouldn’t surprise him if he himself was almost directly responsible for appointing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as Trade Envoy in 2001.
