Well I must say that I have been laughing so loudly that the neighbouring stand at this trade show asked what was so funny.
Laugh? I nearly shat.
Why the actual fucking fuck did Starmer say that at PMQs yesterday?
Mandelson was a POLITICAL appointment, calculated as the best way for Britain to slime its way into the Trump cesspit. Which means forget all the guff yesterday about a proper process, Mandy was Starmer's choice.
It seems incomprehensible that nobody knew Mandy and Jeffrey were bezzies because everyone knew. So Mandy having to be sacked for something this bad directly calls Starmer's judgement into question.
Backing a man backing a nonce is not a good look at the best of times, never mind now in the febrile mood out there.
Starmer may have just holed himself below the water line and it's in danger of overtopping the watertight doors...

That is perhaps the first time I've ever persuaded anyone of a case on PB !And, having read a little more and talked to some colleagues over coffee earlier, I've concluded that I'm out of date and you were largely right in our earlier exchange. Some years ago I worked on cost-effectiveness evaluations that were used by NICE, but the environment has changed since then, it seems. There's more to it than NHS drugs spend, but I do accept there's a problem there.While dodgy Mandy getting the sack AGAIN is amusing, this is the damage that has been and is being done to the UK economy,Discussed earlier on, upthread.

John McDonnell called it last December
For many reasons associated with Peter Mandelson’s history in and out of political office many will feel KeIr has lost all sense of political judgement on this decision.

I hate to say it but we need an election. This is absolutely hopeless.

It’s not obvious to me that Trump gives a shit who is UK Ambassador during his State Visit.Trump actually had a good relationship with Mandelson. It will be hard finding an Ambassador who can do the same from those eligible.
The pre-emptive genuflection is saddening.
When did Britain become a wholly-owned entity of the United States? I blame Brexit.
Whether appointing an Ambassador to Paris, DC, Delhi, Pretoria, Berlin etc you need someone who can build a relationship that is effective with the government of the day, Brexit or no Brexit and Mandelson was a fierce Remainer anyway in 2016

At least some good has come out of all this chaos.Will Mandelson seek asylum on Deripaskas luxury yacht perhaps?
People have stopped droning on, for now at least, about asylum seekers, small boats and luxury hotels.

You know its bad when even Richard Burgon was right,
Peter Mandelson should never have been appointed. He should be immediately sacked.
