Emily Thornberry suggests that Keir Starmer's former Chief of Staff went "fast and hard" in order to "confuse" people into believing Peter Mandelson was the right choice to be the U.S. Ambassador.

Speaking during the Mandelson Inquiry, Thornberry, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said: "What I would suggest is that was part of the strategy it's used in warfare, is used in boxing, it's used in political campaigns. You go fast and you go hard and you confuse your opponents and you get what you want."
