New Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper will lose all authority in position if she does not sack Mandelson herself.

Mandelson now toxic and ridiculous to most US voters. Position untenable, never mind being unfit to represent King and country. Starmer was warned to do full investigation of Mandelson's links with Epstein (and more importantly Putin and Chinese Communist regimes). Obviously, never happened.

Advice to HM King Charles on his unwanted visitor Sir,   May I respectfully sympathize with you on the forthcoming ordeal of receiving Donald Trump at Windsor Castle, and offer you three practical suggestions about it? They may seem outlandish, but...

Some essential advice for Britain's King Charles on his enforced state visitor irony-insult-invective-and-maybe-inspiration.ghost.io/advice-to-hm...

In irony-insult-invective-and-maybe-inspiration.ghost.io seek especially to solicit US and UK protest against Dotard Trump's impending state visit to Britain. Gratuitous appeasement which betrays all of Trump's victims and all the principled Americans resisting him often at great personal risk.

Announcing my new Ghost site irony-insult-invective-and-maybe-inspiration.ghost.io which aims to raise political polemic prose and poetry to heights never before attempted, let alone achieved. All materials free for use against Dotard Trump and his appeasers.

Putin and entourage may be immune from arrest there under International Law but not under state laws. Watch them all constantly and pounce on any conceivable offence, including throwing a sandwich. Refuse Putin bail as a flight suspect.

And they have probably persuaded Trump that he will get an ocean-front lot in the city.

Give Donald Trump a bust of Neville Chamberlain At the start of both of Donald Trump’s terms of office, there were many admiring reports of his restoration of a bust of Winston Churchill to the Oval Office. Given Trump’s conduct towards Ukraine it ...

Simple question: many British firms trying to break into American market could use boost from visit by their Prime Minister. Why does Starmer use his limited time in US on parade for an American firm seeking more taxpayer money from the British public sector? What benefit to UK?

Farewell to X, just published. "Probably my last post if it gets through as a test. I think the owner of this platform is an egomaniac, an abuser of power and an enemy of democracy and the Western world. Thank you to any followers, but I am about to become an exXer. All future posts on BlueSky"

Johnny Mercer wrote a song in 1941 called Tangerine with a sprightly tune by Victor Schertzinger

I know as an exXer this is meant to be a kinder, gentler medium but IMHO P Mandelson is a calamitous choice of ambassador to US. A very conceited person with a great deal to be modest about. Whether or not Trump makes America great again, it will not take long for Mandelson to grate on America.
