Diplomatic career [ edit ]

While Ralph was ambassador to Romania, the government sold its national steel firm, Sidex , to a company owned by Lakshmi Mittal , a major donor to the British Labour party which was then in power under Tony Blair as prime minister. Ralph was said to have a mistress who was employed by a legal firm which worked on the steel deal,[1] Jonathan Powell , who later became Blair's chief of staff, at the British Embassy in Washington.
