It really was -- no irony intended. Excellent contribution from Labour MP for Pontypridd who dwelt on the victims of Epstein and Maxwell, and Mandelson's close links to them both. All previously documented of course, but succinctly and passionately laid out here, a model of Parliamentary procedure. She was followed by thoughtful statements and penetrating questions by Conservative and LinDem MPs and a particularly valuable contribution by a Labour MP for a Merseyside constancy. I intend to watch perhaps five minutes and stayed for the whole debate. Made me realise what a worthwhile debating chamber the HoC could and should be.

Have a look yourself on the BBC catch-up channel. You'll be impressed.
