He told the paper in what has become the main story this morning that has taken any gloss away from the interview that was about a fairer Britain that "He just annoys me,but I’m very bad, in the House of Commons, at not getting distracted, and the endless, ceaseless banter, it’s like having someone with Tourette’s permanently sitting opposite you."
