This is like asking a tennis player: are you using backhand or forehand to play the next shot.
It's a question the player can't answer except:
IF the other player does 'A' - I'll respond with shot 'A'
IF the other player does 'B' - I'll respond with shot 'B'.
JC is keeping his options open and letting media play without feeding their need for misrepresentation.
Boxing clever for me and not letting May off the hook. It's a tory mess and the propaganda machine is longing to get their teeth into a wrong word. JC has been around the block and he's starving the wretched press of oxygen.
Keep your cards close to your chest JC and wait for what the party opposite does next. Patience Glass-hopper!
