As Michael Gove plans to read out the latest missive from the Lynton Crosby playbook today, over in Australia his business partner Mark Textor is showing another side of their campaigning style – by accusing Australian broadcaster ABC of giving Tom Watson “a giant blow job” for having the temerity to interview him. A few hours ago, Textor tweeted:
He’s also attacked Tony Blair as a “wanker” in the last few hours too, but it’s been Watson who has borne the brunt of his anger.
Presumably he didn’t enjoy Watson’s LabourList post about him…?
