		Mandelson was born in London in 1953, where his father was the advertising manager at the Jewish Chronicle.

		Mandelson was challenged by Arthur Scargill of the Socialist Labour Party and by another Left-winger at the 2001 general election, but was re-elected with a large majority.

	Britain: Financial scandal surrounding Peter Mandelson returns to haunt Labour government
		Mandelson said that such books were primarily written for serialisation in newspapers, "where the authors get huge sums of money and to get those huge sums of money, of course, they have to flam everything up, sensationalise, at which point the truth flies out of the window".
		Robinson goes on to say that Mandelson was responsible for the government's first crisis in office in autumn 1997, when he circulated reports that it would soon hold a referendum on euro membership.
		Peter is a "divisive and destabilising figure", Robinson wrote, whose maverick line on the single currency could cause the fall of the government—just as the issue had brought down Conservative Prime Ministers Margaret Thatcher and John Major previously.

		Mandelson was capable of intestinal deviousness, that was true.
		His autumn of tribulations was relished by no one more than Mandelson's enemies in the Treasury, not least because the Brown camp believed that Mandelson, during the campaign to win the leadership for Blair in 1994, was responsible for spreading dirty rumours about the Chancellor's sexuality.

		In 1998, Mandelson became secretary of state for trade and industry, but resigned five months later when it was revealed that he had failed to disclose a financial loan from a parliamentary colleague.
		Mandelson, 51, has brought a number of skills to the political arena: He has proved a radical innovator both inside the Labour Party and during his two spells in government.
		Mandelson's ability to make the most of his new opportunity depends more on external constraints than his capacity to establish, articulate and advance a coherent stance on trade matters.

		There are many different ways to talk about this, the most corrosively superior no doubt emphasizing the "proven corruption" that caused Mandelson to resign twice from Blair's cabinet.
		Even I, of course, think it should be discussed a little more than it is that Blair and Mandelson were early attendees of the Bilderberg Group as the New Labour project was barely getting off the ground in 1990s.
		So I pray Mandelson feels that way himself and becomes instrumental in bringing greater justice for the poor in the coming years.
