Watch Wednesday's ITV Evening News - as documents show Mandelson demanded £500k government payoff

Lord Peter Mandelson sought a £500k payout after he was sacked as ambassador to the US over his relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, a newly released tranche of documents has revealed. The files, released by the government on Wednesday, show Mandelson asked for £547,201 severance pay, but ultimately agreed to £75,000. This is made up of a £40,330 payment in place of serving his notice and a severance payment of £34,670. The information is part of 147 pages of documents relating to the vetting process of Lord Mandelson, who served as US ambassador from December 2024 until September 2025, when he was ousted after the extent of his friendship with Epstein was brought to light. Lord Mandelson has always denied any wrongdoing. Also on the programme: Rising fears for vessels being threatened in the Gulf as the Iran war continues for a twelfth day.
