Gordon Brown in The Guardian on the Mandelson affair about using government influence to get lucrative jobs in private business during the 2009 financial crisis when Brown says he worked night and day to see that people's pensions and savings were safe.

"Already, two thirds of the British public believe that politicians are out primarily for themselves. The grim truth is that unless something fundamental changes, this week’s revelations will be acid in our democracy, corroding trust still further."

 "I have to take personal responsibility for appointing Mandelson to his ministerial role in 2008. I greatly regret this appointment. I made it at the end of his four years as the UK’s European commissioner on trade. "
