MI6 chief Richard Moore considered for UK ambassador role in Washington

MI6 chief Richard Moore is reportedly being considered for the UK ambassador role in Washington, a shift from previous speculation about Peter Mandelson. This comes as Labour prepares for Donald Trump's presidency in January. Moore, who has served in various diplomatic roles, recently highlighted the significant threats facing the UK and US. His potential appointment follows Mandelson's recent loss to William Hague for the chancellorship of the University of Oxford. Mandelson expressed interest in advising on trade but stated he had not been approached about the ambassadorship. He emphasized the need for a new relationship with the US amid concerns over Trump's trade policies.
