Peter Mandelson LIVE ‘Sorry’ Labour Lord resigns from his party | UK | News

Earlier on Sunday, Communities Minister Steve Reed reiterated Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s suggestion that Andrew give evidence ahead of the US congressional inquiry into Epstein.

The former Duke of York was stripped of his titles by Charles last year following the posthumous publication of a book by Virginia Giuffre alleging she was kidnapped by Epstein and his ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell when she was 17.

Andrew paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault claim in 2022 against Ms Giuffre, a woman he claimed he had never met.

Andrew vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

Mr Reed suggested both Andrew and Lord Mandelson had a “moral obligation” to help Epstein’s victims.

He told Sky News: “If anyone can share information or evidence that can help understand what is going on and get justice for these victims then they should share it, whether that be Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Lord Mandelson or anyone else.

“They have a moral obligation to share what they know so they can help victims find the justice they have long been denied.”
