It was his similarly aloof comment, when ignoring expense recommedations, that you couldn't eat in London for a tenner, and anyone who knew how to do so should write a guide book, which prompted my letter to the paper.

I posted earlier today that he's no fool, and I stand by that, but regarding his own P.R. he's absolutely hopeless.

Even if what he said was in private emails, which were subsequently leaked.
