UK PREMIER CONSIDERS INQUIRY INTO SEX OFFENDER JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S ACTIVITIES IN BRITAIN

Wed 05 August 2026:

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is considering holding a public inquiry into the UK activities of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Victims Minister Alex Davies-Jones told the BBC on Wednesday.

Davies-Jones said Burnham was “looking into” the possibility of holding a public Epstein inquiry and had agreed to meet Epstein’s victims.

“I have been assured that the prime minister is taking this very seriously. He will meet with those victims and he is looking at what is possible, now he has access to all of the information as prime minister to see what action we can take,” she said.

Davies-Jones noted that she had discussed holding a public inquiry on the issue with Burnham and cabinet secretary Dame Antonia Romeo during her re-appointment as victims minister when Burnham took office.

She had resigned from former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government in May and accused his government of failing to listen to Epstein’s survivors.

Davies-Jones also said Burnham had agreed to “work with us to look at systemic change across the system for all victims.”

Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to the United Kingdom spanned high-society figures, royal associations, and political circles, heavily scrutinized following the release of U.S. Department of Justice files. Key figures include Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, and former government minister Peter Mandelson, alongside numerous private flights into UK airports.

Key British Figures and Associations

Ghislaine Maxwell: Epstein’s long-time associate and former girlfriend, convicted in 2021 for child sex trafficking, served as his primary gateway into British elite and royal social circles.

Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor): Maintained a heavily publicized and long-standing friendship with Epstein. Newly released documents contradicted past claims of cutting ties, leading King Charles to strip him of royal titles, evict him from Royal Lodge, and prompt police examinations into his conduct.

Peter Mandelson: The senior Labour figure and former minister faced immense fallout after files revealed a close personal relationship—with Mandelson reportedly calling Epstein his “best pal” and allegedly leaking confidential government economic data to him in 2009. Mandelson subsequently resigned from the Labour Party.

Sarah Ferguson: The former Duchess of York faced scrutiny over leaked emails showing a level of closeness and requests for access to royal locations.

Travel and Investigations

Airport and Flight Logs: Investigations and document releases revealed nearly 90 private flight movements linked to Epstein arriving at or departing from UK airports (such as Luton and Stansted), including multiple flights after his 2008 U.S. conviction.

Police and National Response: British police established a specialized national group to assess allegations of sex trafficking and abuse victims housed or moved through properties in London, with calls mounting for a formal public inquiry into how deep Epstein’s network penetrated British establishment protection.
