“None of us knew the depth and the darkness.” — Keir Starmer, on Jeffrey Epstein’s British connections. Seema Misra was jailed while pregnant. Sub-postmasters lost their homes and livelihoods. Jimmy Savile abused children for decades. Every time, Starmer was running the institution responsible. Every time: “I didn’t know.” Now it’s Epstein. And the documents tell a very different story.
Documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act show Britain’s National Crime Agency was running a classified intelligence operation on Epstein’s British connections — from inside the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. Not a tip. Not a rumour. Not informal cooperation. A formal, classified, embassy-to-FBI intelligence operation. Beginning January 2020.
The NCA built a financial intelligence pipeline — UK Financial Intelligence Unit to America’s FinCEN — catching Epstein-linked transactions that US institutions may have missed. British banks were flagging suspicious activity on people in Epstein’s immediate circle. Internal NCA emails show officers coordinating with the NSPCC over whether a parallel British investigation would affect FBI operations. The NCA knew this involved children.

“None of us knew.” → Jan 2020: NCA begins classified Epstein operation from the British Embassy → Apr 2020: Starmer becomes Labour leader → Jul 2024: Starmer becomes PM → Dec 2024: Starmer appoints Mandelson as ambassador — to the embassy where the operation was running → Sep 2025: Starmer fires Mandelson → Jan 2026: Documents reveal what the government knew all along
Nearly five years of classified intelligence. And he sent Mandelson to the Washington D.C. building it was coming from.
Now ask yourself: what kind of security vetting for a Washington ambassadorship doesn’t access the NCA’s own classified intelligence on the most high-profile Epstein associate in British public life? Either it did — and Starmer appointed him anyway. Or it didn’t — and the vetting system excluded the UK’s own Epstein investigation from screening the UK’s most prominent Epstein connection. Both answers are devastating.
And Starmer can’t claim he doesn’t understand how this system works. He ran it. From 2008–2013, he was Director of Public Prosecutions — head of the Crown Prosecution Service. The CPS prosecutes every case the NCA investigates. Under statute, the DPP issues disclosure notices — NCA officers execute them. The DPP authorizes warrants — NCA officers carry them out. Due diligence wasn’t part of his job. It was his entire job.
But here’s the pattern that should alarm every person in Britain. Post Office Horizon: The CPS prosecuted sub-postmasters on data from a system known to be faulty — while Starmer was DPP. Seema Misra was jailed in 2010. Pregnant. Conviction quashed 2021. At least 11 prosecutions on his watch. He had the statutory power to stop them. “I wasn’t aware.” The CPS says it destroyed the records.

Jimmy Savile: Britain’s most prolific child abuser was reported to police while Starmer ran the CPS. The decision not to prosecute was made under his leadership. Savile died free. Hundreds of victims never saw justice. “It never came close to crossing my desk.” The CPS says it destroyed the records. See the pattern?
Horizon: “I didn’t know.” Records destroyed. Savile: “I didn’t know.” Records destroyed. Epstein: “None of us knew.” The CPS destroyed his Washington trip records too. Three catastrophic institutional failures. Three times the most vulnerable people — children, sub-postmasters, abuse victims — were failed. Three times the man at the top says he didn’t know. Three times the records that could prove it are gone. This is not bad luck. This is a pattern.
Compartmentalization doesn’t explain it. Compartmentalization protects active operations from political interference. It does not exist to shield a prime minister from his own government’s intelligence during the appointment of an ambassador — to the very embassy running the operation. He’s asking you to believe that the system he personally ran for five years failed at the exact moment it mattered most. Again.
“None of us knew.” The NCA knew. The British Embassy knew. The financial intelligence unit knew. The NSPCC was consulted. The CPS — the agency Starmer ran — exists by statute to know. Sub-postmasters went to prison. Savile’s victims never got justice. Mandelson got an ambassadorship. And every time: “I didn’t know.” And every time: the records are gone. Britain deserves an answer. In Parliament. Under oath. Dive into the full investigation: https://sayerji.substack.com/p/none-of-us-knew-the-classified-epstein
