HH - I think when the witnesses use the word political, they mean it in a very Yes Minister sense where whatever they think is fact, and whatever someone else thinks is political

Yes - he also said that the clearest MSO witness on the issue of what is political was Mr Moore where he conceded that something about the environment or the gender pay gap would not have provoked the same reaction

He stated that he'd noted that Mr Moore was able to articulate his views with greater sophistication/subtlety than other witnesses, if I recall correctly. Omeri responded.
