Meanwhile, Petronella labelled the Prime Minister as “thin-skinned”.
“Surprisingly thin skinned yes,” she said. “Surprisingly sensitive. Easily upset by criticism or the thought that people dislike him.”
In addition, she added: “He has a very soft core. I think this would be absolutely hell for him in private. He’s a bit of an enigma. I think people have the wrong impression of him.”
