It's kindergarten stuff to pretend he meant something different to what he said. the general meaning is clear. 'Wriggle room' is lawyers speak to get out of something you did/said.
Me thinks though doth protest too much when your chosen one has been found out (again).

Oh come on, you’re not this naive. Politicians use wording, whenever they’re indicating a course of action, that allows them later to change their minds without having told an outright lie.
When a politician indicates a course of action - or in this case indicates what he would prefer not to do - in terms of what he finds attractive, he’s not making a promise, he’s discussing his thought process.
I’m not excusing him, by the way. I wish our politics was a lot more straightforward, but he has most definitely worded the letter merely to dampen down speculation about prorogation. There is unequivocally no promise not to prorogue in that letter, and I sincerely doubt that any of the regular contributors here genuinely think otherwise. Your faux outrage is every bit as politically motivated as Boris’ weasel words were.
