    That’s my take too - he is doing everything to try not to spook the horses. My concern is, he might stick to this after the election when he’ll have such a stonking majority he could do what he likes.

      I think you’re right on this one. Certain press outlets are already painting this as a “plot to reverse brexit”.

        He basically can’t say anything without the Tory press jumping on it and spinning it as some kind of secret foreigner-loving, commie plot.

        I imagine his chat with Macron was pretty much: “I am highly restricted in what I can say at the moment but we’ll have a longer chat when I win. Nudge, nudge wink, wink.” Macron: “you English with you nudging and winking!”.
