Wherever is Sam Uffindel

I think this line says it all

It’s simple, says political strategist Matthew Hooton, National is worried Uffindell will stuff up again.

“Of course National won’t let this guy give an interview,” Hooton said. “He’s someone who - in a cost of living crisis - can’t even talk about doing the shopping without putting his foot in it and causing an embarrassing distraction for his party in the national media.”

But let's blame the "hack" journalist for daring to ask the question...

But why does he want to talk to such a low level MP?  Why would his views be preferred over those in the actual decision making area?  Fact - they aren't.
