> Are you not capable of addressing what he says then?
Of course I'm capable but, given he has no credibility, he's not worth the effort.
* In 1985 he wrote a notorious memo on the Broadwater Farm riots, which he apologised for in 2015 when it was made public under the 30 year rule.
* During the 2001 election, and for some time afterwards, he famously 'went into hiding' having expressed an aspiration to curtail future public spending by £20 billion per annum relative to the plans of the Labour government, which failed to gather support from even his own colleagues.
* In 2002, two strangers knocked on his door at 5AM asking if they could use his lavatory. He agreed to let them do so and they then stole his credit cards and other belongings. He chased them down the street in his dressing gown and pyjamas.
* In 2003, The Independent reported Letwin saying that he would "go out on the streets and beg" rather than send his children to the state schools in Lambeth where he and his family lived.
* In 2009, the Daily Telegraph reported that he agreed to repay a bill for £2,145 for replacing a leaking pipe under the tennis court at his constituency home in Dorset, which he had claimed on his parliamentary expenses.
* In 2011, he stated to KPMG that you cannot have "innovation and excellence" without "real discipline and some fear on the part of the providers" in the public sector. This was widely reported, with The Guardian headline stating Letwin says 'public sector workers need "discipline and fear"'.
* Later in 2011, enquiries made by the Information Commissioner's Office found that Letwin disposed of constituents' personal and confidential letters to him in a public bin in St James Park and therefore breached data protection rules.
All of the above shows the man has extremely poor judgement. In 2016, he even backed Remain. ;) Maybe he's on the turn now, Khandro, but he's hardly a poster boy for a "He says it so it must be true" post ... quite the opposite.
