Now here's the thing. These two big self-PR drives, separated by several months, have one significant factor in common (over and above his unvarying MO and the eternal willingness of the meejah to rise to his bait): on both occasions we may be sure he knew full well there was a barrow-load of shit coming his way. In such circumstances, maybe keep your head down? [are we allowed to say that?] No, not Mandy: all the instincts are still to get on the front foot and try to shape the agenda.
And what a barrow of ordure this one turns out to be! Has there been a bigger scandal since Profumo? As the hacks trawl the 3,000,000 new docs, more outrageous stuff turns up by the hour - and how much more might there yet be?
But, you know what? He'll stay down [are we ..?] for a bit: but somehow there will be a dream of redemption and another foray into the Westminster limelight. Maybe just a bit longer interval this time, though ...

I have to agree, he’ll be his usual completely shameless self and try the same old ploy. You’d have to wonder if it might just work its magic once more.
That said, the insider dealing (or at least being an accessory to Epstein’s possible insider dealing and sending confidential government information to him) might result in criminal charges and/or extradition to the US. If he’s deemed a flight risk and jailed, he’ll be passed around the prison like a blunt.
Now that the police are involved, he may find most paths blocked, and it looks like this time it's more than fingers getting burned. It'll be the brave/foolish person willing to go beyond lending him 20p to phone all his friends.
As an aside, I was surprised to see an old acquaintance referenced in the Epstein emails. Small world indeed.
