Morgan McSweeney has said he made a serious error of judgement in advising the Prime Minister in the appointment of Lord Peter Mandelson to US Ambassador.Speaking to the Foreign Affairs Committee, the former Chief of Staff said: I've spent much of my working life trying in whatever role I held to make this country fairer, stronger and more successful.
I have always believed public service is a privilege. It brings responsibility and scrutiny, but it also brings a meaningful chance to improve people's lives. That is what motivated me in Government. The appointment of Mandelson as ambassador was a serious error of judgement. I advised the Prime Minister in support of that appointment and I was wrong to do so.WATCH ABOVE.
