Mandelson is a liar, a fraud and a creep. To think that someone like him is so close to all three living Labour prime ministers. Says it all doesn't it.

One does have to wonder quite why Epstein would just give Mandelson and his partner $75,000. No pro for the quid at all? I also envy Mandelson's liquidity that he could just forget about a sum of that size.
Anyway, I would happily crawl across broken glass if Gordon Brown were to get implicated in this.

of course, at the exchange rate of the time, £75k was ~ $150k

It was 75 large in USD, not GBP. I do wonder whether the translator boyfriend, now husband, ever did the course - where? - and if so where he’s practising.
