I don’t particularly like Susanna Reid but I think she did a good job here. She had 25 minutes and instead of letting him answer every question with his own positive spin, which would actually mean not answering her question at all, she made him actually face the questions she was asking. She wouldn’t have to be ‘rude’ if he stopped trying to avoid the issues and questions put to him.
He knows that people are generally worse off and he knows many people have nothing left to cut back on. I’m glad she called him out on his ‘we’re doing all we can bullshit’. I don’t deny he’s in a tough spot, he’s faced some very difficult times while being Prime Minister, but that’s the job he took.
He absolutely must do more for the very poorest and most vulnerable in society. Even with cutting back, they simply don’t have enough money to pay bills, god forbid they expect any sort of comforts. It needs highlighting and I’m glad she gave him a hard time, it’s nothing in comparison to what the poorest are facing.
Look at his face throughout the interview, he loves this shit anyway. Boris is an attention seeker with a big ego. He smirks his way through most of it and seems to find Susanna very entertaining, he treats it like a sparring match. And with his ego, no doubt he thinks he came out well anyway. The man has no shame.
Who’s Lorraine? was brilliant. 😂
