It's called the Corbyn gambit. Condemning all forms of nastiness without condemning the one he's been asked about.Tobias Elwood on Peston last night said that Lee Anderson is explicitly racist, while the Transport Secretary Mark Harper just persisted in saying he was “wrong”.
it seems clear that the word from Conservative Central Office is that he was “wrong” rather than racist. Pathetic.
The tory party modelling itself on the wisdom and strategy of Jeremy Corbyn. I didn't see that coming.
