Kensington and Chelsea Probes Lord Mandelson Over Street Urination

The council says the offence carries a £300 maximum fixed penalty, reduced to £150 if paid within 14 days.

Overview

  • Officials launched the inquiry after images circulated showing Peter Mandelson urinating in Notting Hill late at night.
  • The incident occurred while he waited for an Uber shortly after leaving George Osborne’s home, according to reports.
  • Peter Mandelson apologized, saying he was “bursting” after two Uber drivers canceled and that he is embarrassed.
  • Councillor Johnny Thalassites called the behavior unacceptable and said the council is determining whether an offence was committed.
  • The controversy follows Mandelson’s September removal as UK ambassador to the US after emails about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein came to light.
