Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years. Setting aside the "minor" indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives. -
He is toast he should never have been appointed and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement a disgrace all around -
Like everyone, super impressed with Leon. Came when he said he would. Gave great advice. Job done really quickly and efficiently. Perfect. Highly recommend -
Last December I made a post which said "Peter Mandelson has all the skills and abilities to make an exceedingly good diplomat" and up until yesterday he had undoubtedly demonstrated his abilities. I fear now that the story about relations with Epstein will run and run and the outcome may not be beneficial for either Peter or even Trump.
