its because he's being honest and speaking from the heart. whereas the tory members have to barefaced lie to people who know that they are being lied to. the liar needs to direct the conversation by force. as time goes on the lie becomes less viable, so they try to make things unpleasant so you will give up. the honest person is in no rush, no fear of where the conversation might wander. so can relax and simply respond with ease

Well said. I watch Politics Live every day and sometimes watch debates in Parliament. The arrogance of the Tories never ceases to amaze me as well as the nastiness of many of them.

Very moving. He said Johnson will receive his comeuppance- let's hope so. No-one is stupid enough to tangle with him either because he is not soft and knows what he is talking about.

What John Nicolson said is absolutely spot on with regard to Boris, GBeebies and the ‘post truth’ society we somehow have found ourselves living in. However, even if you were not to necessarily agree with what he said it is still very much the case that the manner in which he send it softly, humbly and well spoken shows the quality of the man saying it. Someone who definitely deserves to be addressed as a right honourable member of the house.
