How to unsettle a politician in an instant: At the close of an interview on a soft-touch, teatime show, ask, “Just very quickly, how on Earth do you sleep at night?”
Matt Baker from The One Show, you are my new hero. Whether you meant it or not, you managed to put British Prime Minister David Cameron on the spot in a blissfully eloquent manner. Genius.
The point is I’m not sure Baker meant it in the way it sounded. I think he meant it in the ‘How do you relax and wind down with the pressures of the job’ kind of way, but Cameron’s face suggests he took it the other way. And he babbles a crap answer out quickly.
Move over, Jeremy Paxman, a new man is in town. And he’s the guy off Countryfile.
