He was appointed the Director of General Election Resources for the party in 2007.[1][2] "Lobbygate"With Neal Lawson and Ben Lucas, he founded LLM Communications in 1997, a lobbying firm with easy access to the new Labour Government.[3][4] He has been a spokesman and lobbyist for the gambling company PartyGaming.[5] He had written to controversial Labour donor David Abrahams claiming he was one of Labour's "strongest supporters".[6] In 1998, he was caught on tape along with Derek Draper boasting to Greg Palast, an undercover reporter posing as a businessman, about how they could sell access to government ministers and create tax breaks for their clients[7] in a scandal that was dubbed "Lobbygate".[8] Draper denied the allegations.[9] In the same incident Mendelsohn was approached by an undercover journalist posing as a representative of American energy companies who were seeking to ignore environmental laws. Despite LLM's claim that "we believe that there will be a new breed of 'ethical winners' who will demonstrate that businesses no longer operate in a moral vacuum",[10] Mendelsohn went on to advise the reporter to rephrase their plans into language that sounded "Earth-Friendly" going on to say "Tony [Blair] is very anxious to be seen as green. Everything has to be couched in environmental language – even if it's slightly Orwellian."[11] Other activitiesHe donated money to Peter Hain's 2007 deputy leadership campaign.[12] Mendelsohn is on the board of directors of the New Labour pressure group Progress,[13] According to The Daily Telegraph, "Mr Mendelsohn is steeped in the north London Jewish community",[2] and is a trustee of the UK charities the Holocaust Educational Trust[14] and the UK arm of the New Israel Fund.[15] He is a former chairman of Labour Friends of Israel,[2] of the Finchley United Synagogue, and the Union of Jewish Students. House of LordsOn 5 September 2013 he was created a life peer as Baron Mendelsohn, of Finchley in the London Borough of Barnet.[16][17] He became Labour's business and international trade spokesman in the House of Lords. In January 2018 he was asked to "step down" from this front bench role, in the wake of the Presidents Club dinner earlier that month, where several women were subjected to sexual harassment and groping. He attended the dinner as President of a charity which received support from the event.[18] According to a party statement, he "did not witness any of the appalling incidents described in reports and has unreservedly condemned such behaviour".[19] Personal lifeHe is married with four children. His wife Nicola, née Clyne, now Lady Mendelsohn, was appointed Facebook's Vice-President for Europe, the Middle East and Africa in May 2013.[20] She was formerly chairman of the advertising agency Karmarama, deputy chairman of the advertising agency Grey London[2] and past President of the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising.[21] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6938243.stm |title=Labour appoints election director |publisher=BBC |date=9 August 2007 |accessdate=17 June 2012}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Mendelsohn, Jonathan}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/11/28/nbrown1928.xml|title=Jon Mendelsohn profile: a real Mr Fix-It|author=Christopher Hope|publisher=The Daily Telegraph|date=29 November 2007|accessdate=30 November 2007}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/Columnists/Column/0,5673,434619,00.html|title=Social justice – that's so old Labour|first=Francis|last=Wheen|date=7 February 2001|work=The Guardian|accessdate=29 November 2007}} 4. ^Comment is Free… but journos are scared « Follow The Money 5. ^Party Gaming communicator now Labour Party Fundraiser {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071104153032/http://www.betsage.com/gamblingnews/17082007/partygamingcommunicator.htm |date= 4 November 2007 }} 6. ^'You're not up to the job Gordon': Cameron launches blistering attack over donor scandal, Evening Standard, 28 November 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.gregpalast.com/tony-blair-and-the-sale-of-britain/|title=Britain for Sale|date=1 May 2005|author=Greg Palast|accessdate=29 November 2007}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=http://observer.guardian.co.uk/2001election/story/0,,466695,00.html|title=You must remember this|date=1 April 2001|publisher=The Observer|accessdate=29 November 2007}} 9. ^{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/128125.stm|title=Draper accuses Observer of entrapment|date=7 July 1998|publisher=BBC|accessdate=29 November 2007}} 10. ^LLM Brochure 11. ^{{cite news |title=Jon Mendelsohn |work=Man in the Eye |publisher=Private Eye |date=7 December 2007 }} 12. ^{{cite news|url=http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article3209867.ece|title=Brown aide in the frame as police are asked to investigate donations|author=Colin Brown|publisher=The Independent|date=30 November 2007|accessdate=30 November 2007|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071201002719/http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article3209867.ece|archivedate=1 December 2007|df=dmy-all}} 13. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/ |title=Companies House WebCHeck – PROGRESS LIMITED |id=Company No. 03109611 |publisher=Companies House |accessdate=16 June 2012}} 14. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.het.org.uk/index.php/staff-and-trustees |title=Staff and Trustees |publisher=Holocaust Educational Trust |accessdate=17 June 2012}} 15. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.newisraelfund.org.uk/who-we-are/our-team.php |title=NIF UK Board of Trustees |publisher=New Israel Fund |accessdate=17 June 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121027043023/http://www.newisraelfund.org.uk/who-we-are/our-team.php |archivedate=27 October 2012 |df=dmy-all }} 16. ^{{London Gazette |issue=60621 |date=9 September 2013 |page=17761}} 17. ^{{London Gazette |issue=60637 |date=24 September 2013 |page=18815}} 18. ^{{cite news|last=Greenfield|first=Patrick|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jan/25/presidents-club-furore-claims-labour-scalp-as-peer-ejected-by-party|title=Presidents Club furore claims Labour scalp as party ejects peer|work=The Guardian|date=25 January 2018|accessdate=26 January 2018}} 19. ^{{cite news|last=Smith|first=Lydia|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/lord-mendelsohn-sacked-presidents-club-labour-party-peer-front-bench-a8178791.html|title=Lord Mendelsohn 'sacked' from front bench after attending Presidents Club dinner|work=The Independent|date=26 January 2018|accessdate=26 January 2018}} 20. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/digital-media/10042663/Facebook-names-UKs-Nicola-Mendelsohn-as-head-of-European-arm.html |title=Facebook names UK's Nicola Mendelsohn as head of European arm |author=Katherine Rushton |newspaper=The Telegraph |date=7 May 2013 |accessdate=27 June 2013}} 21. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/47576/advertising-chief-mendelsohn-uk-must-beat-mad-men |title=Advertising chief Mendelsohn: UK must beat Mad Men |last=Lipman|first=Jennifer|work=The Jewish Chronicle |date=7 April 2011 |accessdate=20 July 2011}} 7 : 1966 births|Living people|Labour Party (UK) officials|Labour Party (UK) life peers|Labour Friends of Israel|British Jews|British lobbyists |
