An interesting point here on how the Conservatives could have made the situation worse by letting it drag on.
Quote:
Mandelson's sacking as US ambassador was announced by Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty, after a Tory MP forced a debate on the situation in the Commons.
The former leader of the Scottish Conservatives said: "There's, I think, a mistake here from the Tories in the timing of this.
"We're talking at 10:50am on Thursday, and it just came out, just before that a Foreign Office minister had to stand up in the Commons because the Tories had table an urgent question about Peter Mandelson.
"Actually, if you're the Conservatives, you probably wanted this to drag on," she added.
Davidson also said that she though Mandelson's appointment was "mad" and that Starmer's full-throttled defence of the ambassador in the Commons yesterday was "absolutely mad".
"It was clear as day that there was more to come out here," she said.
