Fellow yank, but it's basically a low level politician desperate to save his career in politics after he got burned for riding on the coattails of somebody who has been more or less proven to be deeply corrupted. But the recommended link appears to show he knew of the guys corruption, so he's pretty much screwed.

That's my take at least, so if anybody knows more feel free to correct me!

I'm going to assume you know about Yogi Bear.

Wes Streeting is the current health secretary and belongs politically to the Labour right (and is a massive twat). Peter Mandelson was an influential politician in Balir's New Labour and kind of just never left, playing a part in McSweeney and co's purging of the left from the party after Corbyn resigned and Starmer got elected. As part of this, they stuffed the higher levels of the party with loyalists to Starmer and gave Mandelson the ambassadorial role to America, despite his established connections to Epstein (George Parker at the FT has been loud about this for years). Mandelson is now in trouble because the recent batch of Epstein files have revealed he'd been selling state secrets to Epstein and everyone close to Mandelson is also getting swept up in it, Streeting included.

This piece is him trying to wash his hands of this, because he's suppose to be the favourite to succeed Starmer for No 10.

I think the others are under selling how much of a self serving cunt little Wesley is.

While head of the student union as a student, sold out his members by supporting far higher student loans and fees. This has saddled multiple generations of kids with tens of thousands in unpayable and undischargable loans.

While as Heath Sectary rolled back care for trans kids, which has resulted in higher suicides for said kids. He was told this would happen before he rolled back the care.

The man would blend babies if he thought it would result in his own enrichment.

"In September 2025 a scandal emerged concerning Mandelson's association with the convicted child sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein, which had been revealed in 2019. Following reports that Mandelson had continued his friendship with Epstein after his 2008 conviction, he was dismissed as ambassador by Starmer.[4] In February 2026, there were further reports that Mandelson and his husband had received payments from Epstein, and that in 2009 and 2010, Mandelson allegedly passed sensitive government information to Epstein. Mandelson resigned from the Labour Party and from the House of Lords, and the Metropolitan Police began a criminal investigation into alleged misconduct in a public office.[5][6][7] "

This, I think?
