I can't stand that guy - he's the idiot who sent out a tweet during Kwarteng's speech about how well the pound was doing in response to what the Chancellor was saying
I did the weekly this morning and on the drive down to Porth, I heard them read out a text on the radio from a man who had lost £20k from his pension fund last week - Philp was appearing on the show later and they said they would ask him what he could say to someone who had seen so much wiped off their funds, but I never got to hear what he had to say in reply (it'd probably be what he normally does, that is ignore the question and talk over the interviewer - I know they all do it, but he's the worst I've come across at it).
It turns out he's been pinpointed as the culprit who raised a policy document urging Truss and Kwarteng to ditch the 45% top rate. Try as Burley might to get him to man up and admit he was the policy instigator there was absolutely no way he'd own it. They love dishing it out these Tories but they don't like it up em Cap'n Mannering.
He now has another headache it appears. Philip has just been barred from involvement in planning and policy interests because of his major stake in a group providing millions of pounds of loans for housing development.
He's always appeared to me like a frightened little rabbit caught up in the headlights.
