The leader of Scottish Labour, Anas Sawar, would rather people didn't share this image of him and his "old friend" Peter Mandelson. So please don't, Scottish Labour's poll ratings are already enough to make him cry.
Anas Sarwar is standing next to Peter Mandelson, with a post from X that reads
It was great to catch up with my old friend and the UK's (relatively!) new Ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson. @UKinUSA
