Herring used a question about politicians and 'informalness' to lay into Theresa May.

Portillo described his comments as 'lazy discussion' and said if you think politicians are so dreadful get out there and become a politician and stop whining about it. Portillo also told Herring 'there is so much inconsistency in what you are saying' and 'you haven't thought this thing through, have you?'

cue much shuffling, nervous laughs and shoe gazing from Herring.
