What’s difficult for me here is that the new Head Of Communications has thought that this is sufficiently quirky, fun and self deprecating as to be worth communicating. Whereas I think these are precisely the collective actions of two stunning dickheads. https://t.co/wMvLayLju2

Openly telling a journalist too, treating the situation with derision https://t.co/mrg3yJGSZ0
