We’ll keep asking the one question Boris Johnson refuses to answer
Having ruled out an extension beyond December 2020 of negotiations on future relations with the EU, is the prime minister setting Britain up for a no-deal Brexit at the end of next year?
In an election, it can seem that politicians have an answer for everything. As they travel about from rally to TV debate to photo op, they are asked huge numbers of questions and in most cases are able to reel off a pre-packaged response packed with figures and dates and quotable buzzwords to bolster their cause.
So when they have literally nothing to say on an issue, that makes a reporter’s ears prick up.
