I think the White House pushed for Mandelson. He was part of the in crowd, which has since turned out to be dodgy and I dont think anyone knew the lengths he went against his country to be part of that in crowd.
Evidently it was a calculated risk to curry favour with Trump and his team. Its definitely not paid off. Its a pretty major misfire from McSweeney and Starmer, although its not clear on how much detail Starmer had, McSweeney certainly will have had knowledge of it. He might not have shared to attempt to protect Starmer.
Resign though? Im not sure what benefit that gives us. I think Starmer is ok but has made some mistakes. Im not certain any of the others are much better. He has no natural successor who everyone can get behind.
Badenoch is sat in an easy seat. She just criticises constantly which is easy at the minute. That doesnt prove she is a good politician or would be a good PM. To me she seems a bit devoid of innovation and I dont think she would be good on the world stage.
