This is what the far right do when confronted with their toxic hate .. they respond in feigned outrage repeating learned rhetoric while ensuring the person questioning them can’t get a word in edgeways so it looks like they’ve won

You see it from Trump, Farage, Tice, Tommy Robinson - It’s textbook

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Being outside the European Single Market didn't make economic sense for the UK at the best of times, and these are clearly very far from being the best of times.
