This is incredible and should not be lost in all the other news. This person holds one of the most senior jobs in government and he lied about saying this. He now apologises. 1. Saying it at all is a reflection on what this government think of the rest of this country. 2. Lying about saying it shows a total disregard for parliament and displays the cowardice of all bullies. 3. Then believing you can get away with it by suggesting you called a person not a place a shithole. WTF. In the past this would end a career in shame - now he will just continue and will probably even run for leadership of the Tories at some point. If that doesn’t illustrate why the Conservatives are never going to fight for ordinary people are deprived areas nothing will.
