Whoa! Impressed that Rosie Barton called Philpott out and said, "That's not really true..." to Philpott saying staffers dictate how MPs will vote and what to say.
Now, if she can only bring that "That's not really true..." to an interview with Scheer.
Now, if she can only bring that "That's not really true..." to an interview with Scheer.
The interview with Philpott starts at 33:30. It is worth the watch.
"I'm not sure how much truth there is to what you're saying..."
Within 3 minutes of the interview, Barton questions Philpott's truthfulness. Sounds like she's on to her games.

I should have noted in the tweet above:
"Within 3 minutes of the interview, Barton questions Philpott's truthfulness TWICE..."
Philpott did not come off looking good in this interview. She looked fully like she was out to slam the PMO as much as she could but was shut down.

Watched the interview 3 times and would like to note another takeaway: Philpott's rookie-ness really shines through in this interview. It's almost as if she went through 3.5 years in government, without actually knowing how government works. 1/
Can't believe I'm agreeing with Barton so much here, but I think she nailed it when she described Philpott's vision as 'utopian.' It did not sound realistic at all. If she had gone to any other party, she would run into the very same difficulties she complains about. 2/2
This video goes straight to the interview, without having to scroll to find it 33:30 into The National.
