Mandelson Under Fire for Handing Epstein Sensitive Information – by Sharing His Netflix Password
LONDON – Peter Mandelson, the once-untouchable prince of New Labour, is facing mounting calls to resign from every position he has ever held (and several he invented) after it emerged that he shared his personal Netflix password with Jeffrey Epstein in 2013.
The revelation, contained in freshly unsealed court documents that nobody asked to see, shows the former Business Secretary sent Epstein a breezy WhatsApp message reading: “Use ‘MandyLovesSuits99’ – don’t tell anyone, especially not Gordon. Enjoy The Crown, it’s basically us but with better wigs.”
Sources close to Mandelson insist the gesture was entirely innocent. “Peter was simply being courteous,” said one ally speaking on condition of complete anonymity because even they can’t defend this. “He assumed Jeffrey would only watch wholesome content. Nobody could have foreseen that a man with a private island and an apparently bottomless supply of teenagers might misuse a streaming login.”
Conservative MPs, never ones to miss a chance to feign moral outrage, have demanded an immediate public inquiry. “This is worse than cash-for-access,” thundered one backbencher. “This is access-for-password. He basically handed a known sex offender the ability to binge-watch Designated Survivor while plotting God-knows-what. Where’s the accountability?”
Mandelson’s spokesperson issued a terse statement: “Lord Mandelson has never knowingly aided any criminal enterprise. He believed Mr Epstein was using the account solely to watch reruns of Yes Minister and to better understand the British governing class. Any suggestion otherwise is politically motivated fiction.”
Netflix, for its part, confirmed the account had been accessed 1,472 times from Little St James between March 2013 and May 2017, mostly during late-night hours. The most-watched title? Orange Is the New Black.
At the time of writing, Mandelson remains a member of the House of Lords, an advisor to several opaque investment funds, and – crucially – the only holder of the password to his current Disney+ account. Friends say he has already changed it to something far more secure: “EpsteinWasNeverMyFriend2025”.
