Still is their tool - Kirsty Wark asking frankly unanswerable questions

A bit naff questions, but gave Kinnock the chance to make and repeat the central point, that the Conservatives have created a crisis and are trying to exploit it rather than solve it, and under Labour things can only get better.

(It's my standard response now to allthesamery: "Given what life was like under the last Labour government, do you really think we couldn't do better than the incompetence you see from the Tory party?")

Still is their tool - Kirsty Wark asking frankly unanswerable questions

Those questions are ridiculous. However, the interview does answer those who have tried to link Labours plan to the Tories.

One will try to fix, the other will use it to distract.

Sugar Alan is a fraud. He sold the lowest grade of computers and then stuffed all his money in real estate and made most of his vast wealth from the inflation in property values.

He isn't a top business guru he's an investor who took low to medium risk.

Impartial at work but you cannot stop people having their own political views - Tory K joining in their culture wars for them

No self awareness about her own and some of her colleagues contribution to the shitstorm they created.

No mention of her lying about Corbyn or how she knew what the postal votes tally was the day before the last election.

I read a Torygraph interview last week where she claimed she's a very private person and "doesn't mix with ministers like Andrew Marr did."

The key quote in that was the duty to protect the national interest. As no government had a mandate for any particular deal, let alone No Deal, did that mean the civil service could legitimately protect the national interest by not doing whatever the elected government demanded if it was not in the national interest? That boils down to the civil service knowing that the "oven ready" manifesto was a cheat.
