Starmer’s Mandelson 'gamble': Did political firepower trump diplomacy to appease Washington?
François Picard is proud of(p) to receive Tim Bale, prof of political relation at female monarch Mary, University of London. According to Professor Bale, the British Prime Minister appears to have unwittingly misled Parliament, as a consequence of not being not being 'apprised' of Mandelson's failed vetting. He says what we are witnessing is the clash between political authority and bureaucratic constraint. The Prime Minister suggests that questions were asked, even if only implicitly, yet the civil service maintains it was neither obligated nor perhaps permitted to disclose critical information. And while accountability remains perhaps an unknown variable, this was widely understood to be a political risk taken under pressure. The appointment of Peter Mandelson reflected a strategic gamble shaped by anxiety over the UK’s relationship with the United States under Donald Trump.
