MI6 Chief Richard Moore Considered for US Ambassador Role
MI6's head, Richard Moore, is being considered for the role of Britain's next Ambassador to the United States, potentially replacing Dame Karen Pierce as the country prepares for the return of Donald Trump. Moore, known as "C," has a respected career as a spy and diplomat.
Competition with Peter Mandelson
Moore is up against New Labour figure Peter Mandelson for the prestigious role. While Mandelson has been a top contender for months, sources suggest that the tide is now moving in Moore's favor, with Sir Keir Starmer seeking a more traditional diplomatic appointment.

The race intensifies as Trump allies express concerns over Britain's stance on a war crimes warrant for Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu.
Diplomatic Relations and Future Plans
Amidst political tensions, Foreign Secretary David Lammy expresses willingness to work with the incoming US administration, emphasizing the importance of looking forward and focusing on national interests.
