🚨 @jonsopel exposed Robert Jenrick’s opportunism who got angry and tried to put the journalist on trial and failed. The audience saw it for what it was.
Jenrick: “John, I'm not gonna take any lessons from the man who said that Peter Mandelson was a class act, when he was appointed as our ambassador to Washington.”
Sopel: “Nigel Farage said much the same.”
Jenrick: “Didn't you also go on telly and say that Hugh Edwards, after he'd committed the most appalling crime-
Sopel: “I think everyone can see that you're deflecting because- Well, you- know, this, I'm not seeking elected office.”
Fiona Bruce: “I- in fairness-John's not asking anyone to vote for him.”
Jenrick: “Do you think that Peter Mandelson is a class act, John?
distance yourself from Peter Mandelson, John?”
Sopel: “I've said on the podcast repeatedly- that what we've learned about Peter Mandelson has absolutely, completely changed- But you knew, you...”
Jenrick: When you said he was a class act- Okay, okay!
Fiona Bruce: “Robert, I might remind you that, that your current leader, Nigel Farage, also said some very complimentary things about Peter Mandelson when he was appointed.”
