Joe Lycett accuses Keir Starmer of 'butchering' Beckham stunt description

COMEDIAN Joe Lycett has accused Keir Starmer of "butchering" the description of his Qatar cash shredder stunt during an appearance in the House of Commons.

Speaking to Times Radio, Lycett discussed the stunt - in which he threatened to destroy £10,000 of his own money unless David Beckham pulled out of his deal with World Cup hosts Qatar, where homosexuality is still illegal.

Last month, Lycett released a video which appeared to show him shredding the cash but later revealed it was a hoax and he had already donated the money to LGBTQ+ charities.
