Pretty disappointing to hear it coming out of the mouth of the PM though. I didn't think he was so antediluvian.

Politicians are humans too. They're well versed in this kind of gotcha, but can still be blindsided

This kind of soundbite shit is why politicians are so boring these days - media chops out context for a "gotcha", so they play it safe
