Lord Mandelson’s warped relationship with is up there with some of the worst abuses of power in British history.
TV producers racing to make the inevitable dramatisation will not know where to start because, as plots go, Mandygate has it all.
First there’s the weird friendship between one of the most senior government ministers and the world’s most notorious paedophile.
Then there’s of confidential government papers to help his perverted pal feather his nest.
To that can be added the treachery towards his own party and Prime Minister.
What about the creepy pictures of him parading around Epstein’s sordid sex lair
And, of course, there’s the arrogance of two men in thinking they can get away with it — arrogance Mandelson is still displaying in the vain hope he can ride out the storm once again.
But there is no Act Four for even this most agile of comeback merchants.
That much is evident from the former allies lining up to put the boot in and erase any trace of past association with Mandelson.
Cabinet Ministers who barely knew him are deleting pictures of him — , for one, wiping a snap of them together.
Yet as fresh revelations detonate more people risk becoming collateral.
Labour leaders, including Sir , whose blind spot for Mandelson enabled his repeated returns, face the spotlight.
Former Westminster colleagues fear being sucked into the fray as more of the Epstein files are scoured.
Like all serious political scandals, this is about more than two men’s greed. It is a dagger to the very heart of the British Establishment.
