Brexit, Boris & Big Insults

He's been the voice of reason in the face of political absurdity and incompetence for over thirty years on Have I Got News For You and is exactly the man the country needs in the midst of Brexit chaos.

As well as his work on Have I Got New For You, Ian Hislop has been editing the satirical paper Private Eye since 1982.

He joined Sarah Walker to discuss a mad year in politics.

Ian Hislop, Broadcaster:

[On Brexit]

"If they've done the joke already where do you go. I suppose the point is that you just have to work harder...the thing is, all these Tory Brexiteer rebels that keep keen unseat the government, they can't count to 48 can they?

"I don't get bored of it because if you're into politics this is the end game.

[On Boris Johnson]

"If he looks unprepared, shambolic and a bit on the lazy side, that's because he is."
