It's quite an achievement to have managed to resign in disgrace even more times than Boris Johnson.
Lord Forsyth of Drumlean, the Lord Speaker:
"I have decided to inform the House that the clerk of the Parliaments has today received notification from Lord Mandelson of his intention to retire from the House, effective from the 4th of February. I will formally notify this to the House tomorrow."

When news was brought to the studio floor of Peter Mandelson's appointment as US ambassador during the recording of this, I involuntarily and rather embarrassingly said "fuck" quite loudly on mic. It didn't make the edit. But I see no reason to retract my view.
