This was glorious. When I first saw the clip I didn't realise it directly followed the interview with Truss. So glad he treated them as the jokes they are.
I didn't realise that either. Heckling this bear baiting clown of a prime minister to her face is something wonderful to see. Too often these people are protected by "decorum" when they turn up to these things. Even the Labor MP has to sit in polite silence. Finally someone comes along and says out loud "the emperor has no clothes on" and we all realise that it's fine to see these people ridiculed wherever they go. There should be no safe space for them, they should be laughed out of every room they enter.

@@Yxalitis What he did in this program was childish and not at all funny. I have watched him in other things. Humour varies from person to person. I don't think he is funny, you do, end of.
The thing I loved most was watching Emily Thornberry struggling to contain her mirth and remain composed...especially when he said 'I'm reassured, are you reassured Emily'... absolute gold!
I reckon this is surely one of the most powerful political happenings of the year so far. It was a masterclass by Joe Lycett- massive kodos to him! The reaction of Keunnsberg was so telling....she tried to start to lecture JL about seriousness, but just sounded so witless! A wonderful spectacle.
She was just shocked by someone doing what they're hired for. After so many years of working as a PR representative after being hired as a journalist and interacting with people working as criminals after being hired as public servants she's shocked to see someone working as a comedian after being hired as a comedian.
Tries to defend. The nature of Lycett's attack on Truss left her at a loss for words. She was trying to make him drop the satire so she could repeat the talking points he was already saying. He broke her. She literally repeated the talking point he was already mocking.
@@cardigan3000 Yeah if you have a presupposed notion of what “right” is. Have the public been wrong to support renationalising energy companies, nationalising banks, jailing bankers, not going to war in Iraq and Afghanistan? This line is just a straight up neoliberal presupposition that people are stupid and must be led. The public can be wrong of course, but to outright state the public is often wrong is just her stating they should shut up and eat cake.
Exposing how awful our politics has become by satirising the hell out of it; it's perfect. A lot of the people who complained about Lycett being on the show and satirising it, don't like a mirror being held up to the state of the country. When politicians of habitual incompetence (Liz truss & Boris Johnson), people who are gaffe machines can become prime minister of this country, we have to take the piss out of the system to point out how insane it is.
I have greatly enjoyed seeing right wingers bitterly complain they don't like what he did, while tying themselves in spectacular knots trying explain exactly what it is he said that they don't like 🤣
But the point is ,why press & slag our politicians that are not even in the job yet ? - they all have to start any top job somewhere ,just more bullying and it also makes the lefty commentator feel better .
@@yorkiegilly4355 She might be new to this job, but she's not new to politics. She signed the deals with Australia and New Zealand that sold out our farmers. She was the environment secretary that cut the budget of the environment agency and left them powerless to prevent poo being pumped all over our beaches She's sold us out a few times already, why would she change as PM?
Funny how tories don't like to hear what they said, when it is coming from another person... I wonder if there are some issues with the source material... 🤔
Joe said what everyone was thinking by saying the complete opposite with just a hint of sarcasm. He revealed the absudrity of 'very right wing' politics in an economic crisis. 👍
Well this economic crisis was caused by the very un-right wing policy (ironically by a Tory govt) of locking down the entire country and economy for far too long which has resulted in this mass inflation which has obviously caused the cost of living to rise. If we had been a bit more "right wing" we wouldn't be in this bloody mess.
I was going to say that Lycett's performance has re-kindled political comedy but he's actually elevated it. The right-wing press & media are already furiously at work I should imagine, trying to devise yet more ways to frame holding power to account as being not only the wrong thing to do but actually worthy of scorn and ridicule. What a 'world'.
I want actual working class people to interview Truss, they'd easily expose the absurdity of her economic ideas and utter lack of any relationship with suffering.
Eddie Mair did a grand job a few years back. Unfortunately when you corner her you just get vacant blinking and wibbling. PMQs gonna be good. Up against one of the country's top prosecutors no less. I give her two months before she has a nervous breakdown about cheese.
I've watched Joe's highlights a couple of times now and I absolutely love them. Just the way he dismantles the whole charade is beautiful. Even the little stuff when he says "fair play to Janet" is quality.
"... he treated the entire spectacle with the exact amount of respect that it deserved" Nailed it. At the same time, he was also the only one on the program got anywhere near holding anybody to account for the nonsense they were coming out with.

Oh my goodness. I can’t believe they booked him. What on earth were they thinking. He 100% did what people pay him for and no one could contend with him because he was not playing by the unwritten rules of political interview shows.
As good as this was, it was also an INCREDIBLY tame way of getting his points across. Seems odd that some people are freaking out over the Tories getting the mildest sarcastic criticism from him
The tabloids are usually the ones freaking out, causing a ripple effect on social media, and vice versa with the loudest on social media being highlighted in the papers and news media
Hes not trolling, he's very right wing now. I did love that someone found a way to mock without being silenced, and I particularly enjoyed how much it riled up a few wankers who struggled to work out how they can silence him
This might be off-topic just a smudge, but as a graphic designer, I find it the most dreadful set design, logo and intro I've seen in a while. She's really giving GB news a run for their money!
Joe is the chap we need right now. It takes a wit to call out the clowns who don’t even realise any longer that they’re in the circus. Mick also has a sharp wit and that’s what these actors can’t cope with.
This is the party that described itself, without any apparent irony, during Truss' acceptance speech yesterday as "the best political party in the world..." The Tories are truly beyond parady....
Notice how Laura never challenged Joe Lycett when he said he's *"very right wing."* I watched this the same morning and was laughing out loud to Joe's brutal sarcasm. Brilliantly exposed the whole absurdity of the last 12 years in those few minutes. Joe really hit a nerve, as expressed by the Fail with their pathetic front page response. *"Low information banality-"* I like that.
Well done Joe I’ve appreciated your style for some time This was brilliant Showing these fools as they really are Stupid fools trying to fool us all Bravo Joe 👍👍
I just watched Stewart Lee' s ❄️ Snowflake . His satirical take on politics is a masterclass. He is the OG and Joe Lycett is the up and coming. Brilliant both.
In the lead up to the Scottish independence referendum in 2014 David Cameron and the Conservatives made some incredible claims which were totally false. When called out on any of the false claims they responded with, “Oh that was just a joke get a sense of humour.”Strange that their sense of humour seems to have desserted them now.
We all need someone to make us laugh through tough and worrying times. So what if Joe Lycett is being funny. Liz Truss makes me feel depressed with her rich-socialist policies (taking from workers and giving to the wealthy).
That's exactly what the Tories have done. Our society is a socialist one for corporations. For example, Universal credit is the government enabling businesses to pay the bare minimum to its workers and reap the maximum profits for its CEOs and shareholders.
Brilliant comments Ash, I hadn't heard obsequiousness in the media for a while, but that is the complete problem in a nutshell. Keep doffing your cap serf whilst they treat us like idiots.
So I saw joe talking, didn’t see the interview… since all this hubbub from the daily snail , I’ve gone back and watched the whole thing! Thanks Daily Snail!!!
The trouble is that the political establishment don’t even know their own history. You had David Frost competing” That Was the Week that Was” in the 1960s onwards . The vitality of past TV production has been deballsed over the decades and needs to be subverted. We are in a conformist age.
Jornalists and politicians have too cosy a relationship. The former need to placate the latter to make sure they get briefings from "government sources"and off the record comments. Regrettably therefore, comedians and satirists are not a nuisance but a bloody necessity.

Am I missing something here - I thought Liz Truss was the paid-for comedian?
