Joe Lycett trolls Liz Truss AGAIN! – Nadine Dorries also gets lampooned

Joe Lycett has trolled Liz Truss yet again!

You will remember that he ironically claimed to be “very right-wing” during Laura Kuenssberg’s Sunday morning politics show last year.

Well, this time he was collecting a Comedy Game Changer award.

The comedian said: “Liz Truss; couldn’t have done it without you girl,” which left the audience howling with laughter.

He then had a word for Nadine Dorries, saying: “To Nadine Dorries, for everything that she has done for culture.”

Richard Sharp

He then thanked BBC chairman Richard Sharp, thanking him for the “loan” that he gave him, which will not be missed as a dig at Boris Johnson.

He closed his barnstorming speech with: “I’d like to dedicate this award to the Channel 4 lawyers, who have protected me throughout my career, from myself. And with that in mind, I’d like to say Richard Sharp should stand down as the BBC chairman.

“And that’s not my opinion. But the opinion of Channel 4 television. Thank you so much.”

Just brilliant
Joe must be the only man who doesn't want the Tories to lose power otherwise his material is gone 🤣
