But I thought I would see what Sunak had to say this morning. One of the most rude, dishonest and irritating interviews I have ever seen. Will not answer a single question and keeps talking over her to avoid doing so. Infuriating and utterly disingenuous.
I've gone in a different direction and listened to 'Broadcasting House' with an interview with Michael Heseltine, quite confused in my opinion. More interesting when he got onto the felled Sycamore. For balance, Auntie has followed up with a song from Communist Paul Robeson, I guess for a bit of balance...

He's a heady combination of May's lack of charisma and Johnson's lack of principles.
"He says the number of people signing a petition against this in Wales shows how strongly people feel about this."
Very concerned about petitions when they support his stances on speed limits and bribing motorists, less concerned when it involves something like investigating Partygate or suchlike.
Disingenuous to the core.

It does make one wonder how many people in Wales have signed the petition, but he is on the side of motorists killing people.
He is far too sensitive to be a politician. He has the skin of a one day old frog.
Sometimes I think about the frothing lunatics I’ve put on ignore, who will have kept replying to me again and again, but I don’t even realise they exist.
He is trying to defend stuff even he doesn’t believe, on the side of the motorist indeed. This is the man who flys half the time in private jet or helicopter, even to distant lands such as Norfolk or Portsmouth

He's also on the side of hard-working helicopter users.

He did exactly the same when interviewed by Emma Hutchinson on About Anglia a couple of nights ago. Just meaningless gobbledegook, never answered anything and tried to talk over her. Why the hell she thanked him at the end of the interview i will never know.

"Look, I don't wanna be the same as everybody else. That's why I'm a Mod, see?"

“Hold my beer”
Agreed re: Sunak. But this seems increasingly to be the product of our political industry and media environment.
I remember reading an article a year or so ago which looked at interviews of Thatcher and Callaghan in which they each fully answered all the (often tough) questions put to them.
The contrast with these days couldn't be clearer, but I suppose politicians in those days had principles they thought worth arguing for.

Absolutely.
Key I think was the principle of accountability that they’re there to represent the UK and all it’s citizens and they took that responsibility seriously (however much I think that Thatcher’s neoliberal dogma threw the baby out with the bathwater and set us off on a poor and unsustainable path as a nation, economy and society). But nowadays that accountability/resonsibility seems to have been replaced by the interests of themselves, their backers/favoured lobbyists and factional power in the political bubble.
Certainly there’s no space nor apparent demand for the politics of principle in the current political landscape.
