Weirdly, I’m not hearing it from any of the pundits, but surely, the very worst mistake was publicly announcing Mandelson’s appointment before the vetting process was complete - started even! Crass stupidity.

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency
Suspicions….?? 🙄. It’s been blatant, obvious and no one seems to care.
Spot on - all of it - which was predictable and widely predicted outside USA and probably within, for all I know. Utter, wrongly focused, badly analysed, attempt at self-serving folly.
Whatever and whenever The PM did or didn’t know about Mandy’s vetting, just about everyone in the country from Tony Blair’s time onwards had him sussed as a dodgy Machiavellian character, quite unsuited for the prime diplomatic job.
Totally agree.
Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.
Been a really good life. Pity, at the age of 80, the world had to go to crap.
Gaza flattened. Now south Lebanon. What to they have in common? Border with Israel. NutjobYahoo’s land grab expands.
Hey Amaryllis! You Bewdy.
If ever you thought that religion was not the occult cause or justification of evil, just look at Nigeria. A plague on all religious houses, I say.

Trump’s war of choice: fucking the world.
His minders are surely just waiting. When The Idiot ceases to be Useful, watch out…….
Blockade….. what an idiot.
Meli the Elegant is either a very stupid woman who didn’t fore see the consequences of a highly publicised “Nothing to see here” protestation, or a very smart one, determined for revenge on Fatso.
NutjobYahoo. OK, let’s kill a poet or two, eh?
Seamus Murphy. He’s seen a thing or two……
Trump probably thinks that his nursery-school language makes him sound more genuine than diplomatic engagement. Fact is, diplomacy-speak has probably prevented more warfare than it has prompted.
They say that The Trumpfart doesn’t drink. Why does he always sound, a tweet, as if he is drunk….?
What a glorious April day in Cornwall! So lucky to live in a country with a (well, relatively…..) sane Head of State and a boring but sound Prime Minister.
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
Have either of the aircrew apparently rescued in that amazing (if hugely dangerous and expensive ) operation, been seen, heard or reported on….?
Good luck Greenland, Cuba, and Panama.
Good news of course, but the ghastly Nut’n’Yahoo carries on and who knows what he’s got on Fatso…..?
Someone on R4 talking sense y’day. On the (almost universal) mistrust of politicians. The shallow and reactive society that requires instant gratification inevitably results in the only people who stand for election being, by definition the least suitable.
Yep. And Epstein files.
Waiting for Looby-loo in the White House to invent a reason to extend the deadline.
Certainly not one of such high rank - what a gift he would have been, to the Iranian regime if captured……
As an ex-military person, what grips me is Fatso’s putting intelligent, humane, thoughtful and well-informed senior officers and others in an impossible position.
