  • Paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly trafficked women through UK airports until a month before his arrest in 2019, using his private jet over 60 times for travel to and from Britain.
  • Documents reveal Epstein's private jet landed at RAF Northolt as recently as 2015, two years later than previously thought, with commercial flights also booked from the UK in June 2019.
  • Six police forces are investigating whether women were trafficked into British commercial airports and RAF bases on Epstein’s private jet, with at least 10 forces looking into Epstein-related allegations.
  • Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown called for investigations into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's alleged use of taxpayer-funded jets and RAF bases to meet Epstein, while Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Lord Peter Mandelson were recently arrested and bailed over alleged links.
  • Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has called for the government to release all flight logs and documents, though Sir Keir Starmer insisted police investigations should take precedence over a public inquiry.
