More than 1,000 pages of documents on Lord Peter Mandelson’s appointment as UK ambassador to the US have been released by the Government.
The release includes previously classified documents and personal WhatsApp messages exchanged by the former ambassador with senior figures in the Government.
It is the second batch of files relating to Sir Keir Starmer’s ill-fated decision to give the prestigious Washington post to Lord Mandelson rather than a career diplomat.
