What the document says

“It should both accept the resignations of all political ambassadors and quickly review and reassess all career ambassadors.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 174

The chapter notes that previous Administrations accepted only political ambassadors' resignations and let career ambassadors stay on, sometimes for years. It says the review should begin well before the first day, and separately that ambassadors in countries where policy would substantially change, or who have shown hostility to the incoming Administration, should be recalled immediately.

What the document actually says

“It should both accept the resignations of all political ambassadors and quickly review and reassess all career ambassadors.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 174
That sentence, in plain words

Let all the political ambassadors go. Then look hard at the career ones too.

What this is about

Ambassadors speak for the country abroad. Some are political picks. Others are career staff. The book says the political ones should all go. It says the career ones should be reviewed.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
