Slight sidestep, but seems to fit best in a thread on Brit politics ;p

It's a news report on yet more sudden changes in the budget, so-called 'u-turns' and studio interview with a junior minister, who'd been sent out to answer difficult questions as the Chancellor of the Exchequer was unavailable.

With Paxman interviewing this amounts to sending a lamb to the slaughter...

She held up pretty well and kept to the talking points, pretending to answer when she really wasn't. She came off looking very bad, but you can't fault her discipline. She showed a lot of backbone at the end.

Has this guy ever interviewed any US politicians? I'd like to see that.
