There is something bizarre about the Prime Minister framing this as fulfilling a promise he made to an elderly television presenter freely and of his own accord, now making the promise into some strange, almost religious obligation. But it's increasingly common: write something in your manifesto, then justify it no matter what because it's fulfilling a manifesto commitment. Yes! That you decided to make!
