Cheery weekend update: Mandelson thwarted
Cheeringly, Mandelson came a resounding 4th in a final field of 5 for the Chancellorship of the university. He had really pulled out all the stops on this, including blow-by-blow briefings to LabourList (who must have groaned, but still published it all through gritted teeth – I expect he indicated there’d be something in it for them. Or issued some kind of threat, he is never slow with the menace**).
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke. We read that what he’s really going to be doing over the next few years is be Ambassador to the USA. I can just see him now, wheedling with Bum-Steer Kier: “what you absolutely must have, is someone who can effectively negotiate with Trump in the only ways he understands … What my many US contacts tell me, is that he only respects people who’ve been in the game for a long time, with a lot of personal money and a track record of dealing with global issues in a transactional, realpolitik way …“
Will it work? I’m told not: but strange things are happening quite a lot these days.

** I have told this story before. Many years ago I had an office in No.4 Millbank, a fine Edwardian building you will be familiar with from its roof terrace and staircase because, overlooking the Lords, it also houses the Beeb’s Westminster offices and conduct many a TV news clip or interview from there. At the time, the Labour Party also had a suite there – it was just before New Labour’s great 1997 GE victory – and Mandy was in his prime, calling all the shots.
One day I happened upon him in a corridor with a small gaggle of very young Labour staffers. I have no idea what was the context; but in a soft, conversational manner, he berated them thus: “… and if you ever screw up like that again, I will make sure you never work in London for the rest of your lives”. Such a nice chap.
