he lobbying firm that Peter Mandelson co-founded has cut all ties with him, following the scandal over his association to the paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Counsel have announced Lord Mandelson no longer holds any shares in the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They said: “Peter Mandelson no longer has any shareholding, role or association with Global Counsel and has no influence over the firm in any capacity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm’s boss, Benjamin Wegg-Prosser, has also departed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wegg-Prosser said he was leaving as it was “time to draw a line” between the company and the “actions” of Lord Mandelson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord Mandelson founded the company with Wegg-Prosser in 2010 following Labour’s general election loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm has promoted its managing director, Rebecca Park, to take over as chief executive. She has also acquired Lord Mandelson’s shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord Mandelson already left the company’s board two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Counsel had a turnover of almost \u00a322m in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord Mandelson has not responded to the latest allegations, but he has previously apologised to Jeffrey Epstein’s victims for continuing his association with the financier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
