I was supposed to be out all afternoon but the event was cancelled, so I got to watch the entertainment as well.

When he was clearly losing his temper with the first set of questions I thought the whole thing was going to erupt, but after that he managed to keep himself more or less under control.   But it was very striking how the questioners and the chair kept telling him to answer the question and stop waffling, which I am sure he did not like at all.   A few very sharp questions that he had especial difficulty with, such as whether every manager in the country was permitted to have leaving drinks for their staff, which he fumbled for what seemed quite a while before essentially saying 'yes'.

A particular moment of amusement occurred right at the end when having argued all along he could rely on the advice he was given, it was put to him that Downing Street was so big and complex with so many people that no one could have known that, and he heartily agreed, insisting it was a very important point. Not noticing, apparently, that it contradicted almost all his testimony.
