  1. >“I have changed my viewpoints over the year, but then so has Liz Truss. She was a Lib Dem, now she’s a Tory. She was Remain, now she’s [a] Brexiteer. People change their minds and you’ve gotta keep up with that… Somebody said you get eight per cent more right wing with every year you get older. I think I’ve just leap-frogged it.”

    He’s amazing

  2. Can’t believe that right wing mental case is allowed to speak on the BBC. His opinions are just too far out there.

  3. Joe Lycett’s cutting “from the dregs of what’s available Liz Truss is the backwash”, absolutely brilliant assessment.

  4. So many people don’t know what the meaning of ‘a face like a slapped arse’ I had to double check I was actually in the Unitedkingdom sub. What’s the matter with you all?

  5. She is like Johnson in that she is wildly out of her depth but does not realise it, yet. I also doubt she realises that she is going to in for much worse now that she is PM, she has been playing on easy mode until now. She might need to be careful because the wind might blow the wrong way or her face will look like a slapped arse forever.

  6. Bit of a theory, but Laura knew exactly what take he would go from. He done that fake walk out on Steph’s lunchtime show which was pre-planned between the two and a few in production which they kept lipped sealed till the next day.

    Caused a right riff in the newspapers cause they reported he walked out in show but was all fake so they looked stupid and ended up promoting her show and his show. Legend. Laura’s show is new, it needed something.

    He has balls made out of brass.

  7. I just love how the word CULTURE appears in block capitals at the start of your headline in a most unnecessary yet most excellent fashion

  8. This interview is just hilarious. Love Joe Lycett.

    I didn’t watch the panel show live, just the clips of Joe… but found out later Liz was actually there which makes it even more hilarious.

  9. I would be fucking delighted and entertained if he kept up this right-wing persona for a while. He’s even changed his voice along with it so it feels like a character adaptation rather than a one-off bit.

  10. I can’t tell the difference between Laura and Lizz, they’re both Tory stooges that are clearly on a pedestal they don’t have the ability to deal with.

  11. I really think there was more to it than him being brought in for a left wing viewpoint, I think he was brought in to be taken down a peg or two to make Truss look like the hero because there’s absolutely no enthusiasm or interest in her at all. I really don’t think they actually have the first clue who they’re dealing with with Mummy, I think they know now though.
