You miss the point
RHS has shall we say “bent the truth”, bullied and generally clutched at any straw he can in order to push his NAS barrow. I can imagine that he will find some way in which to use this latest press release to issue an “I told you so” statement to the world, regardless of its relevance or otherwise. After all, wasn’t 2b and 2c going to save us $75,000,000.
