AV REFUGEES WELCOME
His usage of language is so classic tory isn't it. He didn't tell the reporter when he was asked about it. That much is probably true. He doesn't deny that he told the reporter before or after he was asked though. It's like the ones that say 'I refute the allegation' rather than 'I deny the allegation'.Refute means to prove wrong, typically with evidence, which the person saying it typically isn't doing at the time. It sounds like deny, but it isn't.
The "refute" thing boils my piss every time.
This "withdrawing the whip" thing too... surprised we haven't found more MP corpses with fresh produce in their orifices over recent years.
