Sacked Mandelson recruited BBC boss to help beg for a new government job

Lord Peter Mandelson enlisted the help of a former BBC boss in a desperate bid to get back into government after twice being forced to resign from Sir Tony Blair's cabinet, newly released files show. Papers released by the National Archives show Lord Mandelson hoped Lord John Birt, the former BBC director-general, would help him to secure another top job and 'fulfil his promise'. Lord Mandelson, who is now the UK's ambassador to the US, was appointed by Sir Tony in 2004 to the post of Britain's European commissioner, which oversaw trade. He had been forced to quit as Northern Ireland secretary in January 2001 following claims he had helped Srichand Hinduja, the controversial Indian businessman, secure a UK passport in return for sponsoring the Millennium Dome. The Hammond report later found there had been no wrongdoing from all involved. Despite this, Sir Tony was reluctant to bring Lord Mandelson back into the fold after he had already resigned once before in 1998 from his post as trade secretary after a scandal over an undeclared home loan from Geoffrey Robinson, a fellow Labour minister. However, Lord Birt, who was serving as a senior policy adviser in No 10, wrote to the prime minister in April 2003 urging him to think again. 'I gather from Peter [Mandelson] that you still talk to him regularly but, as a safeguard, you may like to know what he reports to me about his current state of mind,' he wrote. 'He feels this spring/summer may be the moment of decision for him. He's approaching 50 – and he is sorely conscious that time is passing and he has yet to fulfil his promise. 'As you know, Peter's deepest wish is to return to government. He stresses that he has already proved to be a capable minister, and that he would be a strong ally for you in cabinet.' Lord Birt's letter continued: 'If you judge a return to government is not possible, then he would like you to consider appointing him as EC Commissioner. 'One way or another, he says he wants to settle his future this year, even if it means a career outside politics.' Just four months later, it was announced that he was to be the UK's next European commissioner. He was subsequently awarded a life peerage in 2008 and is currently the British ambassador to the United States. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

In-N-Out Burger backs away from Mt. Juliet location. Will they look elsewhere in city?

In-N-Out Burger has "officially stepped away," from a specific Mt. Juliet location where the West Coast based company was moving forward plans to build a new restaurant, according to a city official. In-N-Out is expanding with a number of future restaurants planned for Middle Tennessee to coincide with an eastern territory office in Franklin. Mt. Juliet had approved a design waiver as part of the approval process for a future In-N-Out restaurant to be built on the northeast corner of Golden Bear Gateway and Old Beckwith Road. However, In-N-Out is no longer considering that spot, Mt. Juliet Director of Development Services Jennifer Hamblen said. "While that specific location is no longer moving forward, we remain hopeful that they will identify another location within Mt. Juliet that better aligns with their needs," Hamblen said. ""Our team is fully committed to assisting them in finding a successful path forward here." Efforts to reach property owners or In-N-Out representatives for comment were unsuccessful. In-N-Out Burger owner Lynsi Snyder in 2023 announced her company would open a $125 million corporate hub in Franklin. She recently told podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey she plans to move from California to Tennessee as well. In-N-Out is also building a restaurant in Lebanon on South Hartmann Drive that city Mayor Rick Bell said is nearing completion. Lebanon and Mt. Juliet are neighbors, both in Wilson County. "We don't have a date yet on when they will be open," Lebanon Economic Development Director Sarah Haston said. "We are anxiously awaiting for them to provide us with one. As you can see they are moving right along." The hub in Franklin will include an onsite restaurant. Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Antioch and Madison are among other locations In-N-Out has moved forward on.
