Metropolitan Police Apologises to Commons Speaker for Revealing Tip-Off Source in Lord Mandelson Arrest The Metropolitan Police has issued an apology to the Commons Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, for inadvertently disclosing during an ongoing investigation that he was the source of a tip-off concerning Lord Peter Mandelson. This revelation came amid controversy surrounding Mandelson's arrest on Monday on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The allegations stem from claims that Mandelson, while serving as a government minister in Gordon Brown's administration, passed market-sensitive government information to the late Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, was initially scheduled for a voluntary interview under caution next month but was arrested after concerns emerged that he might pose a flight risk, specifically by potentially relocating to the British Virgin Islands. Lawyers for Mandelson described the flight risk claim as 'baseless' and argued it prompted the unnecessary arrest. Sir Lindsay Hoyle addressed the House of Commons before Prime Minister's Questions, confirming he had passed on the information to police in good faith as part of his duty and responsibility, expressing regret that it appeared in media reports. The Met's statement acknowledged the error in revealing the source to Mandelson's legal team. Separately, Lord Forsyth had been mistakenly named in some reports as the tip-off source and plans to meet with the Met to seek clarification and an apology for the misattribution. The investigation into Mandelson continues following his release on bail in the early hours of Tuesday.

Met apologises to Commons speaker for sharing tip-off with Mandelson’s lawyers Exclusive: Lindsay Hoyle told MPs he had shared information ex-US ambassador planned to flee UK with police ‘in good faith’

Any prospective informant to the #MetPolice might want to reconsider their assurances that their information will be held in the strictest of confidence. #LindsayHoyle #bbcpm #r4today

Wht was #LindsayHoyle doing in the British Virgin Islands last week anyway?

#Mandelson

has #Lindsayhoyle ever ACTUALLY send an MP to the famous Commons tearoom?

NEW: Commons Speaker (and Labour Chorley MP) Sir #LindsayHoyle has comes out publicly against postponement of local elections, saying: "I do not believe in cancelling elections and personally believe that the local elections on May 2026 should take place".

The Speaker #LindsayHoyle is allowing the weasels to avoid answering the questions put by 71,000 people from North Herefordshire. That is disrespectful of our MP and every one of us.

#LindsayHoyle nothing sticks with these utter shitbags 👇

The Speaker of the House just blocked a request to release his emails with Israeli politicians.

The public asked for transparency. Parliament gave us Section 36 of the FOI Act.

Why the secrecy, Sir Lindsay Hoyle?

No transparency on emails, blocking a ceasefire vote on #Gaza and spending HUGE amounts of taxpayers' money ... our money!
£325,000.00 on globetrotting, a commissioned portrait cost £360,000.
Worst of all, he spent £7 million pounds on refurbishing his flat.

#LindsayHoyle ... a sinister politician and #zionist.
His father cofounded #labourfriendsofisrael and Hoyle has been a prominent member.
In February 2024 Hoyle blocked an #SNP motion for a ceasefire in #Gaza after speaking with #KeirStarmer. Not normal protocol but party politics.

Imago 15128ST A reader asks: 44 Twould have expected that given their tiny presence in the Commons, Reform would have struggled to secure many of the hotly-contested question slots in PMQs. But they seem to get a question every week. Is Lindsay Hoyle correct to so regularly include them? Isn’t he required to select according to parties’ size in the house? There is a lottery for questions, and Reform UK seem to do quite well, proportionately. It may be the case that Tory MPs are not assiduous about all putting their names down for a question. But to be sure, you would have to check the data, and I'm not aware of anyone having gone to the bother of doing that ‘With the leaders from the smaller parties (SNP, Greens, Reform), the Speaker also tends to grant them a question every few weeks in recognition of their status. Farage got one of these questions two weeks ago. But those party leaders can also enter the ballot for a question, and today Farage was called because he put his name down and did well in the shuffle.

Westminster is a fix, it's always in the favour of Reform, never anyone else.
This is the slow coup that took over America by the way, and I don't expect the silly little Brits to do anything about it other than roll over and accept it.
