    I do wonder how long that will last. His interesting past is a bit of an achilles heel, which he demonstrated by chickening out of his HIGNFY appearance at the last minute, despite that show having a proven track record of raising politicians’ profiles.

    If he were to become perceived as a threat, I’m sure dirt would hit the fans and the tabloid front pages.

        He’d get a much bigger audience on HIGNFY, so I’d question his thinking if true. Or perhaps he realised there was zero chance HIGNFY would miss the opportunity to play the boob clip.

          His thinking, at least what he said publicly, is that he felt it was more important to go on QT to defend migrants. IRRC, he also said at the time he’d be going on HIGNFY in 2026.
