- Frustrating
Fans of both. But lack of chemistry between them. Tessa continues to make assumptions about Iain in terms of his politics and integrity in terms of who he is close to, who he has dinner with. Very frustrating and breaks the flow of a debate. Not banter but ill informed and lazy

Iain claims not to understand why Johnson lost his job. He doesn’t understand what white privilege means, or what the Establishment is (check your phone Iain). Claimed he never listened to the BBC (in a Four the Man ep), while going on it regularly… a flawed show with the ‘acceptable’ face of the right in the U.K

If you want to hear about Iain’s medical matters, Iain’s motorway journeys, Iain’s book launch events in some village hall miles from anywhere, or anything that involves Iain’s incredible self belief. The recycled stories (about him) are tiresome. Can we exchange self belief for self awareness please?
