Another email chain from the Epstein Files shows Peter Mandelson asked his paedo friend for advice on a Guardian article he co-authored with then-Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls about Britain being a part of the Eurozone’s future. Epstein urged him to be “bold” on the matter:
Peter Mandelson, Subject: Guardian [article included]: What do you think ?
Jeffrey Epstein: cheerleading form the sidelines, no clear suggestion, broad policy arguments , and last but not least, no one is inviting britain to the table. it seems arrogant to suggest you should be a part of a solution that europe has no interest in having your participation. you.
Peter Mandelson: In current European argument, lines are clear. Of course Britain has placed itself on sidelines – but it shouldn’t. This is for domestic audience…
Jeffrey Epstein: I would Hike you to be bold. propose real concrete steps. politcial blather , is really not in your interest
Peter Mandelson: Concrete steps included. Anyway, I am basically on germany’s side.
Jeffrey Epstein: I think you should consider introducing me to anyone you think could be a huge business participant. I would like to be helpful to you. Closing and getting paid is a skill that takes years. . we are at the two year anniversary of the election. environment is even more unfriendly.
Peter Mandelson: Tell me about it… I will think.

Shadow national security minister Alicia Kearns told Times Radio she would have put a precondition on a China trip if she were PM:
“I would have put a precondition that I was not going to go if I was prime minister, unless Jimmy Lai was coming home with me. I would also put a precondition in the six months leading up to the visit that I wanted a reduction in hostile acts against our country. But that’s not what we saw. And actually, in contrast, what we saw was clearly the Chinese Communist Party did put a precondition, which was that the new embassy in London had to be signed off. So why is it okay for China to set preconditions and to make very clear red lines about what they require for a visit, but we go without having put any ourselves?”
