Back in November James Cleverly said sorry for using “inappropriate language” while criticising a Labour MP but denied insulting his constituency of Stockton North.
Stockton North MP Alex Cunningham accused the Home Secretary of calling the area a “shithole” on November 22, reported The Standard.
He said:: “I know what I said. I rejected the accusation that I criticised his constituency.
Sedentary
“My criticism, which I made from a sedentary position, about the honourable gentleman used inappropriate language for which I apologise.
“But I will not accept that my criticism was of his constituency because it was not.”
At the time, Mr Cleverly’s spokesperon said: “He did not say that, and would not. He’s disappointed people would accuse him of doing so.”

Well the saga continues as he was grilled on BBC’s Radio 4 about his NSFW comments.
He also had this on Sky News, the implausibleblog wrote: “This morning James Cleverly suggested the asylum backlog has been cleared. However, Sky News explain how that is not true, and what Cleverly has done is manipulate data and figures to make that claim. As we enter an election year, look out for how our government will claim successes and achievements based purely on the manipulation of data. This is a shameless form of deception.”
