| There are whole bunch of things he could have done to make it look less worse than it was. I'm really surprised that he wasn't advised on any of those things by the extensive media team available. The optics of the event were absolutely awful for him, but then it may not matter much as the most likely outcome is that he resigns shortly after the election due to the dire result for the Conservative party, if he doesn't go somehow before that point. With just a few seconds thought he could have: * Held it indoors (they have made a big song and dance about their multi-million pound briefing room in the past) * Made a joke (or any comment at all) about the "Great British Weather" to lessen the negative effects * Waited a bit for the rain to ease up (it did shortly afterwards) Although I do agree that certain parts of the media would have gone to town on him if he had used an umbrella (or a lackey holding an umbrella). |
