Lots of people with the means/ power to do better will be sucking up for the next 4 years unfortunately so we'll see that many didn't care enough despite some of the things they'd said previously. Still with Musk actively tried to bring it about rather than someone that's just falling in line. That's why he has the influence he has. He's clearly not perfectly aligned but I don't doubt that all the stuff he tweeted a few weeks ago about the UK for example is from him rather than being an attempt to suck up. |

It's distasteful to see but perhaps he's the sort of two-faced slime-ball who can do a half-decent job as an arse-licker.

There have been good things said about him when he was Northern Ireland Secretary - suspect he will do ok with transactional trump by speaking the same language. Trump would clash badly with anyone who instead rocked up with traditional labour principles.

Trump crew don't like Mandelson, they might try and reject him as nominee. They actually got on ok with his predecessor. independent.co.uk |

I’ve read elsewhere that they’re not going to block it.

They don't like him due previous criticisms hence the attempt to suck up now.
