Henry is angry.

He seems to have calmed down a bit now.

He actually reminds me of someone at work.

But this person has these outbursts via email. Mad fool he is

I think this is for starters. I think he's deliberately letting her speak, she can spend an hour trotting out all her carefully prepared and rehearsed answers. Eventually her supply of bullshit will run out, then they will really get stuck in.

I don't think Mr Henry is as good as Mr Beer though.

I really wish Flora Paige was asking the questions..

I wonder if she will be taken to court

I wonder how long before she says "I imagine"

I can’t recall that damming email

I imagine the email exists as you've referred to it, but I don't recall

Mr Beer is very calm, accurate and has worked to set up information for today so that PV can be grilled.

This guy is really pushing. Brilliant.

Shall we open a book? Everyone puts down a fiver?

@DanielGault

I'm thinking maybe she feels she can't say "I imagine" so early with this guy, because he will rip her a new one

If she has an ounce of cop on, yes.

It seems a bit good cop bad cop with Beer and Henry, and it's usually the good cop guy who trips up the guilty. So I don't know whether Henry's approach is right.

She doesn't believe she knew about the Ismay report, but he's now talking about emails she sent just about that sent to him as one of the recipients.

He’s fuming but I think calm and measured meant she made a fool of herself.

She will cry.

I was just thinking exactly that re good cop/ bad cop

Yeah she will, when he ramps it up again

No memory at all about anything

I suppose he only has an hour so he has to make the most of it!

Not like him to lose page references

And she knows that so she is fudging and stalling as much as she can.

Yet she managed to hold such a high position🤔

The glare that Jo Hamilton is giving her is LETHAL!!!

I love the fact that she is in the shots on the BBC news.

It's all a great advertisement for the Big 4 😳

Utterly shameless woman.
