On February 25, 2026, former Prime Minister Gordon Brown expressed his moral outrage regarding the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, stating it is "time overdue to let in the light" on the issues surrounding Epstein's influence in politics. Brown's comments come as he delves deeper into the Epstein files, motivated in part by guilt over his previous decision to bring Peter Mandelson back into government. This development adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing scrutiny of high-profile figures linked to Epstein, including Mandelson, who was arrested on allegations of misconduct related to the case. Notably, Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle revealed that he informed police about Mandelson being a potential flight risk, which prompted his arrest, further intensifying the political pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer's administration.
