Nige thought he was gonna pull a fast one, talk his talk and play the noble martyr, to dodge questions over a £5m “gift” from a friend - who works in an industry that Nige has started lobbying for… but now it looks like he might be going toe-to-toe for his political credibility with an, admittedly intergalactic and sentient, bin. Count Binface to give him his full name.
Note for Americans not up on British English: Public school as used here does not mean what it means in American English. It's what Americans would call a private prep school; an expensive non-government school mostly for well connected rich kids.
