First, he had to defend Jacob Rees-Mogg for his casual insult to the victims of Grenfell Tower. Cleverly said it was OK because Rees-Mogg had apologised.
Next, he had to defend Francesca O’Brien, Tory candidate for Gower, who said that people on the reality TV show Benefits Street needed to be "put down". He brought out the somewhat tired Rees-Mogg defence that she had apologised.
Finally, he had to defend a fake video which the Tories used to attack Labour. On that there was no apology and he finally managed to get in his key phrase "Get Brexit Done". He said that the real video was also available as well as the fake one.
Not a good day for him. It was a good day for Boris Johnson who managed to get his ludicrous comparison of Jeremy Corbyn with Stalin published in a nice impartial article in the Daily Telegraph written by one Boris Johnson.
