Lord Mandelson looked doomed last night after emails showed that he had urged Jeffrey Epstein to 'fight for early release' as he faced jail for child sex offences.
Even Labour MPs demanded Britain's ambassador to Washington be sacked after seeing his gut-wrenching message to the paedophile assuring him: 'Your friends stay with you and love you.'
In the bombshell new emails, Lord Mandelson told his 'best pal' Epstein just before the twisted financier was convicted for preying on children in 2008: 'Everything can be turned into an opportunity.'
The Labour peer – who sent Epstein photos of himself topless in a toe-curling birthday greeting in 2003 – suggested his legal troubles 'just could not happen in Britain'.
And he told the billionaire - found dead in his cell in 2019 awaiting trial for molesting hundreds of schoolgirls - that 'I think the world of you and I feel hopeless and furious about what has happened.'
