That's not a reason to defend him. It was a deflection and disingenuous as he was trying to debunk the central point that the audience member was making by referring to a much smaller issue. This goes to the route of our problems ever since the Brexit debate which is the fundamental lack of honesty in political debate.
The argument that trade becoming more complicated with Europe is fine because we can make up for it by trading with Australia and New Zealand instead isn’t going to hold up for long, I fear.
It won't, and by defending his rhetorical position, I'm not defending Brexit.
So he's still a disingenuous c***.
Rated by some labour fans on here. Well one anyway

Good luck to 'em.
Also I’d have thought the pressure was immediate ie we’ve had the coldest period and it’s due to get a bit milder next week so struggling to see where the black outs are coming from…it’s not like it’s due to depleted storage as we don’t have any !
I did wonder who/what we would blame after we couldn’t blame the EU. So far I make itRees Moggs just a waste of space. Even if it was a one in ten chance of a cold snap, there’s still a one in ten chance to prepare for
Im guessing there’s a likelihood of the smart meter control (paying people to to stop/minimise usage) between 5 and 7pm if things are stretched. Not sure why they haven’t just asked everyone to do 18c max between those hours and not to use certain high energy appliances. Feels like a typical MoS panic ranty headline…hope so anyway
I was thinking negative loony left media constantly downplaying the nation’s prospects
We’re still blaming the EU, not least for the excellent oven ready, just pop it in the microwave deal that Boris did. Not Boris’ fault, the EU forced us to sign it despite us holding all the cards.
I found it very interesting to hear on Question Time that ‘none of the politicians want to blame Brexit’. Well in the case of the Tories it’s their pet project but Labour are too scared of losing seats to come out and say what even Tory voters are starting to accept.
I don’t know what the rate of mark up is in nursing, but I know for supply teachers it’s an average of 45% of the daily rate, which is an absolutely outrageous amount.
Think schools even struggle to find those now. Like in the health service it’s what happens when you neglect something for so long.
There are some issues that undoubtedly should be raised in an otherwise unrelated TV broadcast - either ones that affect us all (racism) or are specific to the setting (Qatari human rights abuses). I'm not sure an industrial dispute between one particular sector and today's British government rises to that standard. Speaking out is important, and it's not like I think there should be hard and fast rules about it, but I don't want to give carte blanche to any old presenter to get on their soapbox in any setting. Roy Keane piping up next and urging Rishi to smash the unions wouldn't have been appropriate either.
