    One of the worst people asked one of the worst people for advice about some of the worst people. Great

      To be fair, he’s not the worst person to ask about Israel. If you’re already good friends with a Mossad asset through your shared pastime of raping kids, then why not shoot him an email for a recommendation?

    Peter Mandelson.

    • MP
    • Secretary of State for Trade
    • Special advisor to Tony Blair.
    • Served in the European Commission as a representative of Britain
    • Member of the House of Lords.
    • Corporate lobbyist.

    This is his profile:

    During the 2009 expenses scandal, The Daily Telegraph raised questions about the timing of Mandelson’s second home allowance claim, dating from 2004, saying, “Lord Mandelson billed the taxpayer for almost £3,000 of work on his constituency home in Hartlepool less than a week after announcing his decision to stand down as an MP.”

    On 22 April 2005, The Times revealed that Mandelson had spent the previous New Year’s Eve on the yacht of Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft, which was at the centre of a major EU investigation

    In 2006, The Daily Mail reported that Mandelson had received a free cruise on a yacht from Diego Della Valle, a controversial Italian mogul, raising questions as Della Valle’s businesses (such as luxury shoe brand Tod’s) benefited from tariffs imposed shortly thereafter by Mandelson as EU Trade Commissioner on Chinese shoes [123][124]

    Reports also indicated that Mandelson had been lent a private jet by Nat Rothschild, who also benefited from his decisions, while serving as Commissioner [125][126]

    In October 2008 Mandelson was reported to have maintained private contacts over several years with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, most recently on holiday in August 2008 on Deripaska’s yacht at Taverna Agni on the Greek island of Corfu.[130]

    In November 2010, Mandelson and Ben Wegg-Prosser founded Global Counsel, a London-based lobbying firm with the financial support of WPP, the advertising giant.[81][82]

    As a corporate lobbyist, he personally helped clients such as Shein, Shell, Palantir, Alibaba, TikTok, and the UK private water industry obtain meetings with ministers and senior officials.[84][85]

    Peter Mandelson has been criticised for being a member of the House of Lords while running a lobbying firm.[140]

    In 2021, he was the only Labour peer to vote against an amendment denouncing genocide in Xinjiang.[140]

    Basically a huge piece of shit. The sort of politician that believes in nothing except money.

    Actually, perhaps this is why he was appointed ambassador
