He managers without shouting, as said, or attacking his counterpart personally.

He absolutely owned Kay Burley on Sky news, there is a clip on You Tube. She was repeatedly asking him what the pickets would do if anybody tried to pass them. With a withering expression he very calmly explained the purpose of pickets, several times because she kept asking the same question and when he didn’t give the answer she wanted she compared the situation to The Miners’ Strike. At one stage he said he didn’t know who she was which pleased her no end. ?

I was thinking exactly the same. He isn’t afraid to take on their stupid questions and turn it back on them. Most of the politicians nowadays seem to run scared of the media and their ultra simplistic questions. I sometimes think the media runs the country.

I thought he was very calm, kept to the point, and more than held his own with the interviewers, and without shouting.

Quite agree. Very interesting to watch and he manages to impart information without shouting about it

Interesting to watch how Mick Lynch just makes mincemeat out of a lot of interviewers, including Morgan and Madeley. Unexpected star of the week.
