NJ: Hague Denial

Are we still allowed to put up last week's rejects? Fabulous. Please get stuck in, all blows and kicks received with pathetic gratitude:

MILES:Like Chelsea Football Club, the British Government has a policy of not commenting on the activities of its most celebrated marksmen - in their case, the SAS. To this end, Newsjack has invited along the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. Mr Hague, Good Evening.

HAGUE:Good Evening Miles, but you know as well as I do that I can't go into any detail about what happened in Benghazi.

MILES:Yes, I know.

HAGUE:Really?

MILES:Absolutely. No, we wanted to ask you, Foreign Secretary, if there was substance to press allegations in September 2010 that there was something improper in you sharing a hotel room with a male special advisor ...

HAGUE:Look, I've already...

MILES:... and a member of the SAS.

HAGUE:I ... I can neither confirm nor deny those allegations.

MILES:Delicious. And how about claims from your time as party leader that you are the love child of Lady Thatcher ...

HAGUE:That was just ...

MILES:... and a Captain in the SAS?

HAGUE:[sigh] I can neither confirm nor deny those claims. Miles, is Chris Morris putting you up to this?

MILES:Don't be ridic ... one moment, something in my earpiece ... [to earpiece] ... yes ... yes ... ok, I understand.

HAGUE:Well? is he?

MILES:I'm sorry, Foreign Secretary, I can neither confirm nor deny that.

Hi Bomsh

It's alright, and I don't think there's anything resolutely wrong with it. But it doesn't light up the page for me.
