‘Turning to his aides in the studio in Manchester, Mr Johnson asked: "Does anybody know about Naga Munchetty - hands up?"
The Prime Minister started laughing as his entire team but their hands up.’
...it’s that he finds his own and his team’s ignorance of great amusement...because it kind of puts her down...Naga Munchetty who..?...I don’t know ha...it really is social media politics and the lowest of the low...when our leaders are meant to be people who we look at to ‘raise’ our society and to be aware of what is happening in the country around them...

I agree that's the narrative I get from thst exchange too, she is of no consequence. ..she's a minority and she's female...ergo nobody worth paying any attention to whatsoever.
He will have been briefed prior to the interview, had he wanted to he could've had a considered response ready, but no he chose not to...very telling.
