SKY news host Kay Burley has embarrassed the Conservative Party chairman after he failed to take part in an arranged interview.
Earlier this morning on Kay Burley @Breakfast, the journalist listed the questions she was due to ask James Cleverly.
There was an empty chair in the studio where the MP for Braintree should have been, despite him standing "15 feet away".
These included the front page of today's Telegraph, on which Boris Johnson compares the Labour leader to Josef Stalin, as well as Jacob Rees-Mogg's recent comments about the victims of Grenfell and about calls for Welsh secretary Alun Cairns to resign.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
