ADVICE has gone out to young Tories and new university students in a pack about how to start campaigns, organise groups and deal with the media. If lucky enough to get interview time, the stars of the future are advised that interviews are ‘not confrontations’. It’s not about winning.

…well I don’t know who wins this runaround from conference earlier between an interviewer who might just see it all as a confrontation after all and a confused minister trying to explain the money frazzle, but it’s bloody painful for all concerned. Mainly the viewer. But Treasury minister Justine Greening must have wished at some point [probably at around 0.09 on this video] that teleports had been invented.
