HOW IS HE SO BAD AT THIS?
He should’ve said, ‘Look, I was very fortunate growing up, there’s no point denying that. What I want is for every child to have the opportunities I had, that’s why our policy is to blah, blah first-time buyers blah tax, etc., unlike Labour who want blah VAT on private schools, blah’.
Instead, he gets immediately rattled and starts gibbering at the first follow-up question. He is just the worst.
By the way, this is the interview he thought was so important he had to run away from Normandy to do it. Apparently, it wasn’t important enough for him to do any prep.
I figure he’s decided that’s he’s squirreled away enough graft money and is deliberately trying to get booted from office so he can pull a runner.
Think you mean grift, this ponce has never done a hard day’s work in his life.
Don’t forget, he’s allowed to claim £115k of UK taxpayers money for the rest of his life after he and Boris dismantled a bunch of the safety nets for UK society.
“Dole for me, not for thee.”
I’d actually be in favour of this if they weren’t allowed to take any other jobs afterwards. I reckon doing that removes a bunch of incentives to do nefarious things while in government

I mean I’d call bribes dishonest money
