• I hate the Tories for what they do and stand for, not for what they demonstrably didn't say in a press conference. (Although what he did say still annoys me but you don't expect much else in politics.)

    I quite like the fact the media misinterpreted it and ran with the other story, as it will make it seem like the Tories are backing down when they eventually say "no, we're not going to review the existing fines", or make them look even more evasive than they actually are.

    I listened to Hancock's answer and thought "typical Tory and typical politicians answer, make it sound positive, don't commit on the spot, defer answering properly and move on." But, heh, that's just never-voted-Tory me.

  • Think people were excited because it wasn't the usual, simple "the fines have been imposed because it is crucial to stay alert... Yada yada." That was expected. He was caught on the hop by a man of the cloth. Peston took the brunt of this with his snappy exchange just after. Every cloud.
