[Keir Starmer has appointed the
career diplomat Christian Turner
as the new ambassador to Washington,
government sources have confirmed.

Turner will be replacing Peter Mandelson
who was forced to quit over
his links to Jeffrey Epstein.

Turner, the ambassador to the United Nations,
was previously political director at the
Foreign Office and brokered a close relationship
with the new Labour administration
before he left for New York.

The Foreign Office is said to have pushed
hard for an experienced diplomat to take
the role, as well as someone experienced
enough to handle the turmoil
of Donald Trump’s administration.]

Good choice.
He has my sympathy though having to deal with the unhinged Trump.
