Lord Mandelson today admitted that more 'very embarrassing' details will come about about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Britain's ambassador to Washington called the disgraced financier his 'best pal' and sent photos of himself topless and wearing a fluffy white dressing gown, it emerged.
Downing Street and Cabinet ministers shrugged off questions about Lord Mandelson's judgment after US politicians released his holiday snaps from a visit in around 2002 to Epstein's Caribbean island – dubbed 'orgy island' by one of his sex slaves.
Separately, emails reportedly revealed how Lord Mandelson worked with Epstein on a £1billion deal over the sale of a UK-taxpayer owned banking business after the American had been convicted of child sex offences.
Critics questioned whether his position remained tenable, just a week before the crucial state visit by US President Donald Trump to the UK in which the Labour peer will play a key role.
