This was Rish!'s big chance to ask Keir the Taylor Swift question. Why did he shake it off?

It's generally not hard to read a politician. You instinctively know when they are being sincere and when they are bullshitting. When push comes to shove, they just aren't as smart as they would like us to believe. They are inherently bad actors. The only people they ever fool are themselves. You know the form. We could all tell when Boris Johnson was lying. Whenever his lips moved.

But there are the odd moments when they are impossible to read. When no one can really be sure what's going on. Yesterday's prime minister's questions was a case in point.

It had seemed a fair bet Rishi Sunak would seek to embarrass Keir Starmer over the Taylor Swift freebies. After all, this hasn't been Labour's finest hour. Allowing a virtual non-story to run for the best part of a week.

We've now reached the point where the Tory press - some of whom were themselves at the Wembley gig on a freebie - have concluded the PM had masterminded the Vienna bomb threat so he could organise blue-light travel in exchange for 10 minutes with Tay. “I love your work.” “Who are you, again?” Awks.
