An early dig at Sadiq (in tune with Trump's tweet this morning), and a laughable attempt to claim interest in the NHS and "business".
More generally, he seems to be studiously avoiding any request for public/televised interviews or debates. Clearly he knows that he has an appalling track record (on which he would hopefully be mercilessly challenged) and that his usual technique of using his "charisma" to weave out of awkward questioning is less likely to work in high-stakes premiership debates.
Seeing as a lot of the other people standing for Tory leader could be summed up as ‘stop boris’, maybe this time isn’t his turn. But I can’t see the next Tory leader lasting beyond a few years, so then Boris will just reappear 😲
