Collins is such an unbelievably unpleasant person. What you might call a “stupid bollocks”.

Tbh fair play to the IT and Miriam L for coming to Ming’s defence here. This is the role of the media. I normally wouldn’t be one to praise the press.
There’s probably damage done to Ming which this won’t fix and he’ll be getting it from constituents for months.
