    Mandelson should get back under the rock he was hiding under. There is no possible reason for him to ever be involved in public life.

    If you had to pick anyone to do it, then Mandelson would be the one. We’re talking about an actual shit sandwich, right?

    Government personnel give empty platitudes to allied nations’ leaders. Hardly a new story.

    As much as it’d be funny for UK politicians to go onto social media and give him wicked sick burns bro, I don’t think it’d do the country any good.

    If throwing some nice words to the fat orange rapist is good for the UK, then so be it. Treat him like a toddler who’s made it 8 hours without pissing himself.

    I would say, however, that the UK (and others) cannot rely on the Republicans to be rational, because they aren’t. We need to be pursuing closer ties with our fellow European nations.

      Exactly this. I very much doubt this is anything but the realpolik that is always going on that is a large part of keeping the country secure and the taps flowing.

    Speaking in an interview with US broadcaster Fox News, he said the new US president had won “fresh respect” from him, adding he was “quite confident” Trump would approve of his appointment.

    “In fact, if he whipped it out right now I’d gobble it right through the screen.”

    Look, I know DJT is shooting for fascist dictator, but are people so afraid that they’ll put aside any dignity or respect for other people at all?
