It’s worth remembering what control No 10 have been able to maintain over which documents have been released today.

They can’t stop things they don’t like from being published – parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee will get the final say on that.

But given this is just the first tranche of documents, the government has had a say on what is published now, instead of later.

That could explain why the email about Mandelson’s severance payment has appeared in today’s files – though the government has been under pressure to tell people how much Mandelson was paid.

That was actually leaked to the press shortly before the files were made public.

The Financial Times has reported that the government believes details of that payment – and claims that Mandelson wanted more money – would be the centre of attention.

But given what else is in the files, questions about Starmer’s judgement – and whether he’s right to say Mandelson “l(fā)ied” during the vetting process – are likely to make the biggest splash today.

The BBC understands that Mandelson's view is he answered questions about his relationship with Epstein in the vetting process accurately.

值得記住的是，唐寧街10號(hào)今天對(duì)哪些文件的發(fā)布控制力是怎樣的。

他們無(wú)法阻止自己不喜歡的內(nèi)容被發(fā)表——議會(huì)情報(bào)與安全委員會(huì)將擁有最終決定權(quán)。 但鑒于這只是第一批文件，政府對(duì)現(xiàn)在發(fā)布的內(nèi)容有發(fā)言權(quán)，而不是以后。

這或許能解釋為什么關(guān)于曼德?tīng)柹采①M(fèi)的郵件會(huì)出現(xiàn)在今天的檔案中——盡管政府一直面臨壓力，要求公眾告訴公眾曼德?tīng)柹男匠杲痤~。

這些信息實(shí)際上是在文件公開(kāi)前不久泄露給媒體的。

《金融時(shí)報(bào)》報(bào)道，政府認(rèn)為這筆付款的細(xì)節(jié)——以及曼德?tīng)柹胍噘Y金的說(shuō)法——將成為關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn)。

但鑒于檔案中其他內(nèi)容，關(guān)于斯塔默判斷力的問(wèn)題——以及他是否正確地說(shuō)曼德?tīng)柹趯彶檫^(guò)程中“撒謊”——很可能在今天引發(fā)最大爭(zhēng)議。

BBC了解到，曼德?tīng)柹挠^點(diǎn)是，他在審查過(guò)程中準(zhǔn)確回答了關(guān)于他與愛(ài)潑斯坦關(guān)系的問(wèn)題。
