I think it's clear that he did, in fact, believe that he could hypnotise women's breasts bigger. And then backtracked when he became a politician and realised this would look bad for him.
Right now I would still vote for the Greens but my god can't we have someone with good policies AND who has never tried to hypnotise women's breasts bigger??
PS. Here is what his website looked like a year after the Sun article was written: https://web.archive.org/web/20141025071852/http://www.zackpolanski.com/page/1/. The main page doesn't advertise breast enlargement, but the blog does mention positively the Sun article. He clearly wasn't ashamed of it, or trying to "defend" himself from misrepresentation. I think we can safely conclude that the guy genuinely believed in hypnotherapy -- him being a professional hynotherapist charging £200 a session and all -- and that this extended to breast enlargement. Whatever he currently believes, I don't like denying this apparently basic truth.
The cartoonists will have a lot to work with there. And it carries an aura of creepiness that could be the kiss of death to his hitherto illustrious political career. He may end up joining the Cheeky Girls Lib Dem guy in the realm of pub-quiz questions.

Very funny that they dug this up the day the Mandelson files dropped. I can't wait to hear about the hypnoboobs thing the next time Labour fuck up.

The fact that this is really the only thing they've got on him as well.
Straws have never been clutched like this.

For me, it's more that he very confidently and bald-faced lied about saying that he immediately apologised.
I know all politicians lie. But it's still unacceptable and we should keep calling it out when it happens.
