Unlikely to be true, given how long he allowed the Diane Abbot nonsense to go on before making a slightly less than equivocal statement about it. There is a pattern here and it’s not good.
For whatever reason he seems to have a problem with speaking quickly and clearly. His instincts are to stop, chew things over, and then form carefully worded sentences. He is going to be PM, no doubt about that, so he is going to have to learn PDQ that sometimes you need to stand up and speak clearly and forcefully. You don’t always get to chew it over for a week. He might as well learn that now, rather than the next time we face a national disaster.
