Lord Mandelson was arrested after police were alerted he was preparing to leave the UK. Officers detained him to mitigate a perceived flight risk during an ongoing investigation. He surrendered his passport, was questioned and bailed. He denies wrongdoing.

Lord Mandelson was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office amid a probe linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Taken from his London home and questioned, he was bailed while inquiries continue. The development poses a political test for the PM and Labour.

Documents indicate Jeffrey Epstein rented storage units across the US to hide computers and files, aiming to prevent seizure by authorities. Emails and financial records suggest a coordinated effort to shield material and assets, raising questions about the scope and location of what was stored.

Downing Street is weighing legislation to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession once a police inquiry concludes. The move, unprecedented in modern times, would require Parliament’s approval and reflects continued scrutiny of his conduct and public role.
