MP David Davis calls this out for what it is, a "National Security Issue."
By Tyler Durden: Peter Mandelson spent much of the past four decades at the center of British power:
New Labour architect, Blair-era fixer, former cabinet minister,
lobbyist, peer, and one of Westminster's most notorious survivors. Oh,
and he was sliding Jeffrey Epstein actionable inside info.

His old nicknames, the "Prince of Darkness," aka "The Turd Burglar" were never subtle.
It captured both his political skill and the suspicion that Mandelson
was most comfortable operating where influence, money, and private
access [also to people's dark/rectal passages] overlap.
Today, Ministers released
more than 1,500 pages - three bulging volumes of emails, handwritten
notes, and more than 160 pages of WhatsApps - in what they billed as
"unprecedented transparency" over Mandelson's disastrous stint as
Britain's ambassador to Washington. And of course, guess what: Mandelson flat-out refused to hand over his personal phone, and that's pretty much that. Cabinet
Office solicitors formally requested access on March 31; he declined to
comply. The government admitted it had "no further recourse."
