  "textContent": "\n\n\nMorgan 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.\n\nSpeaking 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.\n\n\"It brings responsibility and scrutiny, but it also brings a meaningful chance to improve people's lives. That is what motivated me in Government.\n\n\"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.\"\n\n**WATCH ABOVE.**\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
