I assumed after Monday's statement when he accused Starmer of doing nothing except prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Savile, that it was just bad tempered nastiness from a nasty PM as he had no acceptable answers; typical of malignant narcissists.
But it turns out it was a prepared answer. It was in his 'script', he was advised not to say it, and he ignored the advice. Again true to type
Contemptible. As are the self-interested crawlers who excused it. Very similar to Trump and senior Republicans.
His opening remarks on Monday, and very non-personal apology were equally shameful. "We" failed, but "I" will fix it.
It was reported that, in his plea to his MP's for support afterwards, he compared himself with Othello, who "also trusted his friends too much". So he's not to blame at all, he's a victim!
He blames his opponents for wasting time on parties when the country is at a critical juncture. Yet it was he who cancelled his much touted conversation with Putin to beg for his MP's support.
What a despicable excuse for a man. I do hope they go for Truss.
