Former Tory MP brutally taken down by comedian on The Last Leg

  • Irish comedian Vittorio Angelone garnered praise for his sharp comedic takedown of former Conservative MP Penny Mordaunt during his debut appearance on Channel 4's The Last Leg.
  • Mordaunt, who was on the show to discuss her role as an ambassador for the Music Man Project, was visibly unimpressed by Angelone's remarks.
  • Angelone mocked Mordaunt's past actions, including her promotion of an arms fair in Saudi Arabia, linking it to her support for the “prosthetics industry”.
  • The exchange escalated when Mordaunt told Angelone, “I don't think you are, sweetheart,” to which he retorted by calling her remark “patronising” and quipped about her “smashing the glass ceiling” in war-mongering.
  • Angelone concluded with a final joke about his Belfast origins, leading to further laughter from the audience and positive reactions from viewers online.
