Who feels sorry for James Cleverly? He is being served up as a human shock-absorber to bear the brunt of the media’s hostility to the Tories. Behind the fragile shield of his ‘funny tinge’ he’s sent out alone, to boldly go - to the battle zone, to fight, single-handedly, the massed armies of the media.
Yep. I watched Question Time (plus Politics Live and several election-related variants of). |

Fiona Bruce’s anti-Tory hostilities are firing on all cylinders; a strangely subdued Clive Lewis was allowed to waffle on ineffectually. The Olympic cyclist seemed as surprised as everyone else to find himself sitting there; what he was doing there no-one will ever know. The Welsh lady seemed superfluous, ( As Marcus Wareing might say, “too much on the plate”) and the BXP lady shot herself in the foot by unnecessarily alienating everyone in the room with her shrill resentful wails of distress.
Another "young Tory" popped up in the audience for the benefit of conspiracy theorists everywhere.
With a final flourish, the audience member who wanted everyone to be ‘nice’ let out a vitriolic stream of consciousness rant aimed, as ever, at a somewhat deflated James Cleverly.
James Cleverly is earning my respect. The "human shock absorber" is doing quite well I would say. Time for others to step into the breach as well.
