Labour grandee Lord Peter Mandelson has resigned from the party following revelations from newly released Epstein files detailing his financial ties to the convicted sex offender. The documents indicate that Mandelson and his husband received payments from Epstein, continuing even after his prison release. Mandelson, who previously served as UK ambassador to the US, expressed regret over the allegations, which he claims are false, and announced his resignation to prevent further embarrassment to Labour. Calls have emerged for him to be stripped of his House of Lords position amid ongoing scrutiny of his past connections with Epstein.
