Susanna Reid wasn’t having Dominic Raab’s weasel words and it’s just superbly done

Over on Good Morning Britain the deputy prime minister Dominic Raab had been wheeled out for the latest round of ‘cabinet ministers attempt to defend the indefensible’.

Today’s topic was Chris Pincher, the Tory MP who’s been suspended by the party over allegations that he groped two men at a private members’ club while drunk.

Specifically, a 2019 inquiry into the Tamworth MP which upheld complaints about his ‘inappropriate behaviour’.

Presenter Susanna Reid naturally asked Raab about it today and it’s fair to say she wasn’t taking any of his weasel words. Absolutely none of them.

That’s Dominic Raab, deputy PM and justice secretary.

There really are no words for Raab – not pre-watershed, anyway – but fortunately these people said it for us.
