On February 25, 2026, the Metropolitan Police issued an apology to Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle for improperly sharing a tip-off regarding Peter Mandelson, which led to his arrest. This breach of protocol has intensified scrutiny on Prime Minister Keir Starmer's administration as it raises questions about the integrity of the police investigation into Mandelson's alleged misconduct related to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Hoyle's actions in alerting the police about Mandelson being a potential flight risk have now been complicated by this apology, which underscores the chaotic nature of the ongoing investigation and the political fallout surrounding it.
