Jeremy Corbyn is escalating his campaign to use the disgusting corruption of the “Epstein affair” to address the corruption at the center of British politics. In an op-ed published in The Independent on February 13, he ridicules Starmer’s excuse that he was unaware of Epstein’s corruption: “I cannot believe that when Keir Starmer appointed Mandelson as the ambassador to Washington, he would not have been made fully aware of his record in its entirety. Surely the prime minister would have known about the number of times that Mandelson was forced to resign because of his behaviour. Surely he would have known about his record as an EU commissioner. And surely he would have known about his well-recorded relationship with the convicted paedophile, Epstein. What a shameful, appalling appointment for the prime minister to make.”
He then criticizes those who would reduce the issue to whether Starmer should stay or resign. “This misses the point,” he writes, identifying the systemic problem with Labour: “most of those who are lined up to replace him are likely to carry forward the abject political legacy he leaves behind. That includes the failure to redress the obscene levels of inequality in our society; the disgraceful attacks on the disabled; the disgusting anti-migrant hatred that is paving the path to Reform; and the ongoing military cooperation with Israel as it violates the sham ceasefire and continues its genocide against the Palestinian people.”
He demands an investigation into the corruption which led to government contracts with Palantir: “Getting rid of Starmer means nothing unless we also get rid of his government’s healthcare and defence contracts with Palantir, the US company that provides military technology to Israel and AI-powered deportation targeting for Trump’s ICE units. That contract was secured by the lobbying group Global Counsel, co-founded and part-owned by Mandelson himself.”
In its coverage of the “Epstein affair,” the Executive Intelligence Review has identified the “System” run by oligarchs of the City of London as the source of the corruption. This system imposes the imperial policies that have created billionaires who run the corporate cartels committed to permanent wars on behalf of the empire, and run hybrid warfare operations to disrupt any serious dialogue among citizens to break the controlled environment .
