The fallout from this appointment continues, as Mandelson was later sacked from the position due to his associations with Epstein. The article does not provide further details about the nature of Mandelson's links to Epstein or the specific reasons for his dismissal. However, it suggests that the government was aware of these connections and still proceeded with the appointment, which has led to ongoing repercussions. The article remains concise and unbiased, focusing solely on the key facts surrounding Mandelson's appointment, his links to Epstein, and the subsequent fallout from this decision.
