Dominic Raab got Paul O’Grady’s name wrong – Savage responses

Such sad news. Paul O’Grady – funny, fearless, brave, kind and wise. Will be sorely missed. A really special man.

Dominic Raab pays tribute to incredible drag queen and comic, Paul Grayson. Now that's what I call sincerity. #PMQs #PaulOGrady pic.twitter.com/IFeP3oNBgc

Dominic Raab has just called Paul O'Grady "Paul Grayson" before going on about wokery in comedy 🙄 what an absolute tit #PMQs

Dominic Raab just referred to Paul O’Grady as Paul Grayson in parliament…

Didn't actually think it was possible for me to like Dominic Raab less. https://t.co/Z0MeCVcYrc

If you’re going to use a comedian who has just passed away to make stupid points about “wokery” you could at least have the courtesy to know their name is not “Paul Grayson” pic.twitter.com/AcV35qaL6H

What the actual fuck? In a twenty-five seconds, he manages to mix up Paul O'Grady with Larry Grayson and then uses this tragic death to spout right wing rubbish about comedy which Paul would have fundamentally disagreed with.#RipPaulOgrady https://t.co/s79NcXv1G6

Raab is so so awful. Mixing up Paul O'Grady with Larry Grayson and then whinging about 'wokery in comedy'.
Paul hated you and your entire Government. He wouldn't have wanted a tribute from you. https://t.co/MlrOuwI7qL

I’m not saying Dominic Raab had a poor PMQs but he appears to have confused Paul O’Grady with Larry Grayson (died 1995) before then co-opting him as someone at the front line of… the war on woke?
