Joe Lycett's appearance on new BBC Sunday morning show, Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, has been heralded as "one of the finest TV moments" by some viewers on social media. The comedian, 34, was among the first guests to feature on the show and while being interviewed he took the time to do some "Grade A trolling", according to one viewer. Joe previously aimed a dig at the UK Government at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. You can read more about that here.
Asked by host Laura about the strength of Liz Truss’ position at the moment, Joe reflected: "I think the haters will say that we’ve had 12 years of the Tories and that we’re sort of at the dregs of what they’ve got available and that Liz Truss is the backwash of the available MPs. I wouldn’t say that because I’m incredibly right wing, but some people might say that."
The Birmingham-born star, who was clearly being sarcastic, then discussed 'predicting the future' of politics. He said: "As Liz said there, it would be wrong to predict the future – even though loads of people have predicted that we’re going to have real issues with paying our energy bills. But I think she’s right to say, 'Let’s not predict and see what happens next week.' I think she did the right thing there!"
