They are very concerned not to have a Theresa May style meltdown late in the campaign. The more visible she was the less of a Prime Minister she looked. They sent JRM back to Somerset pretty sharpish after the Grenfell comments.
You’re windmilling all over the place now. It’s unbecoming.
My original point stands. That doesn’t make me a Boris apologist - it’s just an attempt to explain the reality of elections to you. You seem to take quite the interest in politics so I’m surprised that this has befuddled you.
Absolutely. And Boris is a liability in an interview/live mike situation It seems he came out with an appalling clanger today about immigration as an example. It’s just smart media management/politics from Tory HQ really. I’d say after the Andrew Neil interview with Corbyn if they had a choice again, and knew Boris was going to duck it, they’d sidestep it too.
"Channel 4 uploaded a video, where the subtitles quoted the Prime Minister saying he wanted control over the migration of “people of colour”.
Subtitles attached to the video quoted him as saying: “I am in favour of having people of colour come to this country but I think we should have it democratically controlled.”
The Prime Minister’s team have insisted he was actually saying “people of talent” and Channel 4 have since removed the video and apologised for their “mistake”."
