Peter Mandelson associate who is embroiled in the Epstein files scandal | |
Ben Wegg-Prosser is a British consultant and political adviser who was the CEO and co-founder of the London-based strategic consultancy and lobbying firm Global Counsel, which he co-founded in 2010 with Peter Mandelson. Wegg-Prosser has been a close associate of Lord Mandelson since the 1990s when he was one of the then-Labour politician's special advisers.
Spin doctor
In 2005, Tony Blair appointed Wegg-Prosser Director of Strategic Communications at 10 Downing Street.[1]
Labour Tomorrow
Wegg-Prosser was a funder of Labour Tomorrow, a campaigning group with several senior Labour Party figures on its board, which opposed the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn.[2]
Email to Epstein
In February 2026, Ben Wegg-Prosser was identified as the author of an email to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein from his Global Counsel email address, seemingly on behalf of Mandelson, in a US Government document release regarding Epstein.
As a result, Wegg-Prosser announced his resignation from Global Counsel on 6 February 2026. In a statement released by the company, Wegg-Prosser said:
"With the completion of the divestment of Peter Mandelson's stake in the business, I feel that now is the time to draw a line between Global Counsel and his actions."[3]
