Grovelling Lord Mandelson admits he was wrong to call US President Donald Trump ‘a danger to the world’

LORD Peter Mandelson has said that he was wrong to call US President Donald Trump “a danger to the world”.

Sir Keir Starmer’s pick for ambassador to the US made a grovelling U-turn for his 2019 comment.

He said yesterday: “I consider my remarks about President Trump as ill-judged and wrong.”

The climbdown comes as the Labour grandee tries to win over Mr Trump’s inner circle after his appointment sparked fury among Republicans.

But he told Fox News he believed there would be no problems.

Mandelson said: “I’ve heard nothing from the president or the White House or anyone working for him that suggests there’s going to be any difficulty about my appointment.

“As an experienced and longstanding friend of the US, I think President Trump will look at my credentials and consider what’s best for the relationship going forward.

“I think the president is a nice person, he’s a fair-minded person.”

Grilled about his past anti-Trump rants, Lord Mandelson said: “I consider my remarks about President Trump as ill-judged and wrong.

“I think that times and attitudes toward the president have changed.”

The former spin doctor also backed Trump’s global approach, adding: “Frankly, I think President Trump could become one of the most consequential American presidents I have known in my adult life.”

Mandelson added: “I think that the United States and Britain, working together, can outsmart and keep ahead of the curve as far as China is concerned.

“[Trump] wants a dialogue with China, he wants to do deals with China. But he’s also not going to be naive about China.

“We face a challenge together from China, and we’ve got to make sure that we are able to deter that challenge or that threat when they’re having aggressive intents toward us.”

Normal Stanley Quencher’s are priced around a whopping £45 – making the dupe £35 cheaper.

And to keep on theme, Sainsbury’s are also selling cream pyjamas with cherries on too for £24.

If you’re looking to decorate your home for a date on February 14, you can find some heart-shaped candles, faux rose petals, a heart feature backdrops and garlands at Sainsbury’s.

The retailer has also blown shoppers away with their incredible 25 per cent Valentine’s sale on various other items in the store – including their Habitat collection.

The YouTuber picked up some baby blue plates which she dubbed as being very similar to the famous stoneware and ceramic brand Denby.

Stunning glass candle and tealight holders also adorned the shelves, which were priced around £3.

These show stark similarity to the ones sold at the luxurious The White Company.

Diffusers with the same pattern are also on sale, making it the perfect matching addition to the candle.

There were also an array of stunning, big vases on the shelves that appear to be on sale with huge discounts.

The video has attracted tens of thousands of views and dozens of likes.

One person said: “This is truly New Sainsbury’s!

“Designers have stepped up!”

Another commented: “Love it all. Thanks for showing us.”

A fellow shopper wrote: “I bought some fantastic walking wellies and leather zip up ankle boots in the Jan sale in Sainsbury’s.

“I’m not usually a Sainsbury’s shopper but just popped in and am really impressed with the quality and prices.”

And: “Wow, I’m so impressed with such a stylish range!”

How to bag a bargain

SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…

Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.

Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.

Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.

Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.

Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.

When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.

Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.

Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.

And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
