Rishi Sunak

This is an awful interview. He just won't shut up but instead says the same thing 4 or 5 ways, and deliberately answers a question that wasn't the one asked while talking over the interviewer. Oh, and recites his numbers without context.

Kuennsberg is doing okay at keeping him to the questions she's actually asking, but as he won't actually answer the direct question, the "we'll get through this" is not landing convincingly - a plan is all well and good but if the intervening time is lethal, not much help. How many will not be able to switch mortgages for something useful?

Avoiding the bad stuff just makes him sound relentlessly upbeat that everything will be all right in the end (and we won't mention those who won't make it to the end).

Totally failed to answer whether he agreed with the decision on Johnson, making excuses. If he'd answered the first time, it would look much stronger than needing to be dragged back several times to not answer again. Ah, and then apparently it was time to abuse Starmer (did you know that he wants to put more power in Putin's hands by not exploiting gas reserves?) and a party political statement. And of course his five goals came out again.

Not long now mate, they are toast
 
Dreadful interview.

He has this awful habit of just repeating a pre-prepared soundbite over and over. To the point you can see he is even bored saying.

He is actually starting to look and sound like Liz Truss.

Would love to see him interviewed by someone who doesn't have to tow a particular line and tell him

Stop waffling on talking in riddles and spewing bullshit and answer the question I asked, not what you thought I asked

If he waffled on again, simply say because you refuse to answer questions, this interview is terminated

I actually think a gentle overtly polite interviewer, who pointed out you are just repeating soundbites would kill him. He is quite petulant and easily irritated.

Which is why he won't go to e.g. a Newsnight studio but insists on the interview being in his garden - not much chance that an interviewer will walk away there.

the polite interviewer suggested by @Marlo may well work - he got quite annoyed by LK pointing out that he was not answering the question.

The repetition by rote is incredibly obvious as he says the same thing 2-3 times. LK even laughed at the appearance of the 5 pledges.
