Starmer — a prosecutor with a huge majority, coming in after years of sleaze and mendacity — could have weaponised the corruption of his opponents to incredible advantage. Instead he will be ruined by the living avatar of corruption in his own party. To not see that coming is a serious skill issue.

It is that just few ministers are as clumsy and arrogant as Mandelson.

If every fibre of your being isn’t repulsed by the choice of Peter Mandelson as US Ambassador you fail to qualify as a human. Unless you are already dead.
NEW: Keir Starmer has picked Peter Mandelson as new ambassador to US as he prepares for Trump presidency.
He had emerged as favourite in recent weeks but @stevenswinford.bsky.social reporting PM now to confirm as thinks trade expertise & networking ability mean he’s right man for job.

Mandelson, for all of his obvious failings, still has some very serious & disturbing faults. Greed, & a lack of concern for others, spring to mind.
He is getting more extreme as he ages. As is often the case with arrogant egomaniacs.
