BBC slammed for allowing left-wing comedian Ben Elton brand Rishi Sunak a ‘narcissistic sociopath’ on air
THE BBC has been criticised for letting a left-wing comedian brand Rishi Sunak a “mendacious narcissistic sociopath” on air.
Ben Elton launched the blistering attack on the Sunday with Kuenssberg show following an interview with the PM.
The Monty Python writer, and long-time Labour backer, slammed Mr Sunak for an “extraordinary Orwellian, meaningless, evasive word salad”.
He added: “I sort of believed maybe he’s kind of a bit more decent, and it turns out, he’s as much of a mendacious, narcissistic sociopath as his previous boss.”
Tories slammed the publicly-funded broadcaster last night for booking the guest on its flagship political show.
MP Mark Jenkinson said: “The BBC seem completely unable to get this right due to their systemic bias.
“Whatever possessed them to become a soapbox for another celebrity lefty luvvie.”
It followed a row over comedian Joe Lycett, who famously mocked Liz Truss on the programme before she became PM.
