As the debate rages over the evacuation of Pen Farthing’s animals, the Prime Minister’s contention that we have evacuated the “overwhelming majority” of those to whom we owe a debt couldn’t be more important. Thread below on why we really cannot be certain we have.

Indeed it seems unlikely.
Still remains deeply curious that Downing St has refused to clarify to me what it is exactly the Prime Minister meant by the idea that we’ve taken out the “overwhelming majority.”
The left behind, not part of the “overwhelming majority” include this man and his family.

If this is true then the claim looks more dubious still.

If so then then question is how can the Prime Minister have said with any confidence that we had removed the “overwhelming majority” of those eligible and to whom we owed an obligation?

But we can’t ask the PM to clarify because I said the other day, he hasn’t done a sit down interview since the start of the crisis. Likewise as I said earlier in the thread, Downing St refused to elaborate on the comments to me when I asked them about it earlier in the week.
