@CruttersJnr Yeah, I thought going for the carpenter might sound slightly more threatening than going for the guy who did something in a paper mill - same raw material just slightly different level 😂

@CruttersJnr I normally enjoy doing things like this, but given my last foreign trip was to visit the most well-known location of war crimes in the world, I'm just going to pretend it was the trip I took 2 weeks before that and that I'm actually the Carpenter of Barcelona

Getting across the nuances of our party's policy in the media is not an easy task, and at times people representing our policy will falter at that, including our leader. But it's also important to remember what he said in full, which was not wrong twitter.com/MattDoy4785402…
