Epstein was the fixer...

Editor's note: ...and Mandelson (the pirate City of London does not like Trump's tariffs in the least) was the inside man. And politicians are the play things of these networks. Epstein was incarcerated when the 2008 financial collapse occurred according to his own account in his interview with Steve Bannon. A private banking intelligence network of bankers, fixers and political operatives with the UK's Starmer providing a response to the City of London's meltdown as the US takes back its sovereignty. The 2008 financial crisis was not solely a Wall Street failure, as the City of London functioned as a parallel engine of the collapse, providing U.S. and European banks with basically an unregulated hub for leverage, derivatives trading, and off-balance-sheet risk that amplified losses across the global system. It's a protection racket run out of the pirate City of London.

How King Charles could strip Mandelson of his peerage

Legally the honour is bestowed by the Sovereign. That means only the Sovereign can remove it

By Sir Michael Ellis | February 4, 2026 

We are witnessing a game of blame-shifting in full flow. Amid the horror being expressed at the allegations against Lord Mandelson, No 10 is frantically seeking to divert attention from its own role in this sorry saga. The Prime Minister appointed a man known to have connections with a convicted sex offender to the highest diplomatic posting in the land. [Editor's note: That is putting it mildly.]

To witness the panic at No 10 unfold in real time, just look at how the spin started when this latest tranche of documents was released by the US Department of Justice.

No 10 immediately tried deflecting attention away from themselves by claiming that what happens to Mandelson now was all the responsibility of the House of Lords. At first No 10 said the Prime Minister had no power to do anything about it, it was all very complex and it was up to the Lords to take action. This spin was deceptive – and it was legal and constitutional nonsense.

The House of Lords Reform Act 2014 removes peers who are sentenced to more than 12 months’ imprisonment and, under an act of 2015, peers can be now expelled following an investigation. But two problems arose in Mandelson's case – first, that even if the House were to expel him, or any other member, that individual would still remain a peer of the realm and could still describe himself as such.

There is also the small problem of whether the House could even punish a member for infractions alleged to have been committed before the rules and powers they now have even existed. English law does not readily allow for retrospective penalty and in this way it accords with modern concepts of natural justice. So Mandelson has resigned from the House – but he remains a peer.

Legally a peerage is bestowed by the Sovereign. That means only the Sovereign can remove it. A standards commissioner, a committee or a quango can't do it. This precedent was confirmed in 1917 by an act of Parliament – the Titles Deprivation Act – when peerages were annulled for four individuals who had "adhered to the King's enemies" in the First World War.
