Fair play to Ben Kentish for not being intimidated by Sir Malcolm Rifkind's title and plummy accent. Because that's exactly what Rifkind was trying to do. They were reasonable and legitimate questions @benkentish.bsky.social He just didn't think an oik like you had the right to ask them. @lbc.co.uk

Thanks Chris. It’s the growing trend of adopting the Trumpian approach of playing the person rather than the ball. Maybe they think it reflects well on them

I couldn't agree more. An attempt to both play the person rather than the question and completely dominate the interview until before you know it, you've run out of time. It certainly didn't reflect well on Sir Rifkind. Frankly, he made himself sound just a little bit silly. Keep up the good work.
