Mandelson Gone, Again

You could argue that Keir Starmer should have seen this coming after repeatedly insisting he had full confidence in the British Ambassador to the US,  Peter Mandelson, he was forced to sack him after the publication of further emails between his lordship and Jeffrey Epstein where Mandelson had written to Epstein saying he believed him to have been wrongly convicted of multiple sex offences.
Obviously nobody was to know that after his first resignation over secret dealings with a millionaire, and then of course the time he resigned over his secret dealings with a millionaire, that his third downfall would come from his secret dealings with a millionaire.
For Keir to lose his Deputy for cheating on her taxes and then the high profile US Ambassador in less than 7 days is awkward and the cherry on the cake was that he got a proper shellacking from the lack-luster Conservatives on the opposition benches who demanded to know amidst the creepy letter to Epstein signed off by 'your best pal' and more rumours of more to come, if the Prime Minister knew about Mandelson's close association with one of the most notorious pedophiles in modern times before he gave him the job.   
I guess Starmer thought that it seemed a good idea at the time to send Peter Mandelson to Washington, nobody does sycophancy better than Pete who is yet to find a rich and powerful person by whom he hasn’t been impressed, and the childlike Donald Trump likes nothing better than people who fawn over him.
Keir now has two problems, the first being to find someone as willing as Mandelson to insert themselves in the Orange Tyrants colon, pending a check whether somewhere there is a cache of emails to a convicted criminal that might look quite awkward first.
Secondly, with Mandelson gone, Keir now has nobody to take the boring lump Trump off his hands for a while during the long 3 day visit because Donny was also a great friend of the convicted child sex offender and being a sex offender himself, now has has nobody to discuss giving a mega-wealthy convicted pedophile the benefit of the doubt with and reminisce about the good old days with their pal Jeff.
