On Politics: Mandelson and the Private Life of Power
Ethan Shone, an investigations reporter at openDemocracy focused on influence operations, and Peter Geoghegan, founder of Democracy for Sale and investigative journalist, dissect newly released documents on Mandelson and Epstein. They trace informal influence networks, press failures, libel chill, lobbying firms built on favours, tech‑political links, and proposed rules to curb post‑government profiteering.
