Mandelson might not make it. The FBI are looking into his past.

End of - for the moment anyway

Trump has approved him.

Apparently, “While Lord Mandelson has been confirmed as the UK’s choice for ambassador, he could still be rejected by the Trump administration.

The US could refuse “agrément” – the formal acceptance of an envoy by a host country – vetoing the nomination without explanation, under the terms of the Vienna Convention.”

Of course Trump approved him. He recognises what Mandelson is: a man he can do business with 😉
He’s got a Teflon coating just like Trump.
This is an old story but this is Mandelson.

Oh well at least he's not sendng people to their deaths like Trump.

Oh well indeed.

😁
‘Old news’ then?
Wouldn’t trust this guy to hand me the right change in a corner shop.
Oh well.

Of course, your preferred people are the pinnacles of decency OP

Yawn.

At the last election I was relieved that the Tories didn't get to muck up the country for yet another term. Now it's starting to look as though Labour isn't going to be much better. I mean, wasn't Mandelson ridiculed and disgraced not so long ago....? Kier Starmer really couldn't think of anyone better for the job? I despair.

He has now been "accepted" after earlier reports a brief had been handed to the FBI.

In all news sources now, including GB news, after those earlier reports 6 or so hours ago..... its now

Trump game playing.

“Lord Mandelson, a close ally of Keir Starmer, has had his Washington appointment approved in principle, according to multiple reports.

He is set to move to the US next week, where he will need to have his position rubber-stamped by Mr Trump.”
LBC current news. Also in other news reports

Panic over!

If it was Trump we'd put forward & the FBI were vetting, they'd veto him pronto

Who does the FBI represent?
