I don't really understand why he found that question so hard to answer, it's not even that much of a "gotcha". New information came to light that changes your interpretation of someone's actions.
It wouldn't be unreasonable to impose some sort of "cooling-off period" when someone is crossing over from the civil service to a political party.

He simply didn’t want to answer, but more importantly seemed to think he could rock up for an interview and spout bollocks nor expect to be cross examined on how he had reached his view
It was pathetic really -
How would you feel about, I don’t know, say a senior civil servant who is given a peerage by a PM and sits on the Conservative benches in the Lords?

“So she was impartial before. But now she’s not?”

Do have a listen, it was properly excellent journalism
