Really an excellent "back story" explaining some of the intricacy of diplomacy. It should be enough to end the career of Starmer, but the guy is a bit of a Teflon politico. This is only the latest of things idiotic (or even willful) the guy has accomplished. So he is going to last for some further opportunity of Kierfoolery.

By the way, this article made me - finally delve into the differences of the verb forms of "career" and "careen". So this morning I am a tad more educated on that subject but I already knew Starmer was a dope. https://aceseditors.org/news/2020/are-you-careening-or-careering

I struggle to understand how a man with Mandelson’s shocking reputation for dishonesty, duplicity and disgraceful behaviour generally could possibly have possibly been considered suitable for the position in the first place.

Obviously, the notoriously avaricious and vain Mandelson wanted a top job….

……and was ruthless in calling in a favour or threatening to engage in blackmail……

……aside from Starmer’s huge incompetence, there is no other possible explanation.

Starmer long history of moral failure finally caught up with him.
