As revelations from the Epstein papers continue, it now transpires that when Peter Mandelson was a leaking confidential Govt.

He gave sensitive information to Epstein and was paid for it. I'm sure Denis MacShane went to jail for much less

@ChrisMayLA6 An immediate resignation from membership pre-empts disciplinary action and avoids wider investigation by the #LaɓourParty . However the leaking of confidential government information could lead to prosecution for the common law offence of 'misconduct in public office'. I am not sure where there is any limitation on the latter.

No wonder he's resigned from the Labour Party, and you'll e unsurprised there are now moves to see I'm removed from the House of Lords (although that's not that easy).

The only thing he'll really regret (whatever he now says) is being found out... one more corrupt political revealed (which does little for confidence in democracy)

@ChrisMayLA6

I should perhaps add - rather shamelessly - that the rationale for pre-emptive resignation from the #labourparty is set out on page 215 and a fictional occasion of it referred to on page 259 of 'The Election - A Modern Chronicle of Barsetshire' published last November!
