โจThe UK media is now dominated by the transition from political fallout to criminal scrutiny for Lord Mandelson, with editors focusing on the Metropolitan Police's review of alleged government email leaks to Jeffrey Epstein (Sky News, The Telegraph, The Independent, BBC News, Evening Standard).

If you thought the Epstein Files would damage Donald Trump it is here in Britain where they have caused the most devastation. The most damning material yet about the former Prince Andrew include photographs that seem to show him on all fours over a woman on the floor, as well as humiliating emails from his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson to Epstein in which she appears to suggest he marries her. It all raises new questions about the conduct of certain Royals, the monarchy and the Palaceโs handling of this over many years, and what this new low means for the whole institution.
