Hashtag awkward. He enjoyed it really, though :)
Actually, of all the phone-ins I do on my programme, Chuka gets the most positive response from people who text and email in. Yes, he obviously has his detractors, as all politicians do, but a lot of people reckon he comes across really well. Tonight was the last full hour phone-in I’ll be doing with him before the election. Which makes me kind of sad, as he’s been a good sport over the last year and is always an entertaining listen. He’s not afraid to give his views and also not afraid to give credit to politicians from other parties where it is due. Politicians across the parties could learn a lot from how he handles these phone-ins. He does ‘human’ very well.
