    Australia gives US ‘edge’ against China, says Trump’s pick for Canberra

    Washington | Donald Trump’s pick to lead diplomatic efforts in Canberra says having a strong relationship with Australia gives the US an edge over China in the Indo-Pacific and is crucial to its attempts to break Beijing’s stranglehold on critical minerals processing.

    David Brat told senators on Wednesday (Thursday AEST) that if confirmed in the role, his three priorities would be critical minerals, defence co-operation and partnership in the Indo-Pacific “amidst China’s unprecedented military build-up”.

    UK PM orders inquiry into former US ambassador's ties to Epstein

    An investigation will take place into the links between Britain's former ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson, and late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

    Documents released as part of the Epstein files suggest Lord Mandelson sent government briefing documents to the American financier in 2009.

    Bank transfer documents also suggest Epstein sent cash to Lord Mandelson and his partner.

    UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has ordered an urgent inquiry into the ties between London's former ambassador to Washington, Peter Mandelson, and the late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during the politician's time as a government minister.

    Gordon Brown asks top civil servant to investigate Mandelson ‘leak to Epstein’

    Ex-PM asks cabinet secretary to investigate whether Mandelson shared market-sensitive information

    The former prime minister Gordon Brown has asked the cabinet secretary to investigate Peter Mandelson’s apparent disclosure of highly sensitive government information to Jeffrey Epstein.

    Mandelson was business secretary during Brown’s premiership, when he appears to have leaked an economic briefing to Epstein, who was serving a jail sentence at the time for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

    The email, which had the subject line “Business issues”, was sent by Brown’s special adviser Nick Butler on 13 June 2009 after the global financial crisis. It detailed potential policy measures and suggested the government had saleable assets.

    No more get out clauses, no more routes back to power. Finally, Peter Mandelson is on his own

    Labour’s Prince of Darkness has always been reckless and greedy. The only question now is how his reckoning took so long

    This is The End, Beautiful Friend, The End. There have been many Peter Mandelson resignations. Twice from the cabinet, once as the UK ambassador to Washington. But the announcement late on Sunday night that Mandelson was resigning from the Labour party somehow felt more final.

    In the past, there had always been get out clauses. Unexpected routes back to the centre of power. Not this time. Somewhat late in the day, the establishment had closed every door. For the first time in decades, Mandy was truly on his own. You might ask what had taken everyone so long. Mandelson hadn’t exactly made much effort to hide his tracks.
