Well Colin Mackay doesn’t hold back here…

@STVColin Terrific piece of interviewing. Politicians are coached to change the premise, answer their own question. Not enough journalists can do what Colin did and stay focused to get an answer to THEIR question.

@STVColin The correct response should have been “Well, I’m delighted that you think there’s still a chance I’ll be PM after the election…”

@STVColin This is how it's done, @Peston.

@STVColin That was worth a follow. If England had journalists like this, we would be in a much better, and democratically accountable, place.

@STVColin That 'why didn't anyone rescue me?' look to his team at the end. 😬

@STVColin Well done @STVColin,good interviewing technique. You should have just kept going with pushing Mr Sunak to answer the actual question, not what he is focused on, or what people are telling him about. Other journos could learn from you.

@STVColin Politicians get away with not answering the question far too often, Sunak in particular. Credit to @STVColin for actually calling him out on this and holding him to account.

@STVColin Sunak attempts to pull out the usual time wasting long winded sound bites but is brought back sharply! Good work @STVColin

@STVColin Rishi Sunak learning the same hard lesson Liz Truss did. If you allow regional journalists to ask questions expect them to be robust and not be fobbed off with the same repeated prepared lines. It’s a shame the normal Westminster pool don’t/won’t/can’t interview in the same way.
