Recurring actors played "guest speakers" attempting to advocate for each event reported on. But 9/10 they shot their own feet off. I used it to get my filler of weekly news, it was fantastic.

It's such a simple thing but impossible to achieve.

This type of political satire was rife in the thatcher era and probably played a small part in their downfall in the end, as well as being a balm, it was also on mainstream tv all the time, Pie is exactly what we need unfortunately he is 1 man and we need an army of him.

I know what you mean, and I dearly hope it does have an effect, but I wonder how effective it actually was in the past. Spitting Image was absolutely scathing of Thatcher, turning her into some weird dehumanized robotic Caligula-type figure by the end, and millions (most with only 4 TV channels and no internet) were glued to it, and laughed it up, but still apparently voted for her, when it came down to it, as long the economy was going well. The recession and the poll tax seemed to be the breaking points, and analysts now say that even 'old Labour' (with Neil Kinnock or, preferably, John Smith) would have got in at that time.

Very true. I am a Bennite by birth, but have been shunted over to Reform because the Left no longer want people like me anywhere near their 'safe space'. Why do people vote for the Labour-Tory Uniparty - it's because of fear, fear that there's no other option and that no other party can ever win because that's just how it is. Ask any Labour or Tory voter why and, if they don't have a mental breakdown because you asked, they cannot give an honest response - 'the alternative isn't worth considering', 'the Tories are corrupt', 'Labour love paedos' etc. etc. Basically, you have a circular feedback between two opposing factions who actually NEED each other - one is the boogeyman of the other. Of course, there's no reason why Reform UK or Rejoin EU can't be the parties of power - it takes 326 seats won and if either party can do that then they will form the next Government. Reform becoming the party of Government might make some suicidal, but others would welcome it and (same as if Rejoin EU won) it would be a fresh alternative. People have to think back to 2020 and Covid-19 - neither Tories or Labour covered themselves with any glory or dignity with what happened, because Uniparty Neolibs do not give a sh*t about anybody or anything other than themselves. You're poor - f*ck you, your tax is too high - f*ck you, the NHS is failing - f*ck them. What are we going to do? Oh yeah, vote in Labour because Carol Vorderman tells us to. If Rejoin EU become the new party of power, much as I would oppose their Brexit stance, I would be prepared to give them a chance and if they got the economy under control they'd earn my respect for that. However, I can see certain Left facets going more apoplectic that they got elected than if Farage becomes the next PM - 'how dare the Left not vote for the Left which I want... that is sooo offensive!'

What does it matter who you vote for? Humour doesn't pick sides; it splits both left and right with laughter 💁‍♂️

I generally thought Pie was a real-life mate of James O'brien lol.

"The child of Partidge and Tucker"............. PERFECT! Thank you Tom!! Having seen Pie (Tom Walker) live, all i can say is "How the hell does he remember it all, and where does he get the energy from' Without doubt the best live performer, in any genre, I have ever seen, and i have seen Dave Allen, Led Zeppelin, Dara O'Briain and Pink Floyd to name but four!!

It's like he can read our minds and express our feelings in a more articulate amusing manner than we could ever hope to.

Pie the character will have plenty to complain about when he realises the tories are still in power just wearing red 😂

If its so important that Keir Starmer 'used to be a Human Rights Lawyer'... Then why does he support the genocide being committed in Gaza? The idea that Starmer is better for this reason is laughable... And not in a comedic way!

Pie says what the vast majority of the British public are thinking!

This isn't the end, this is the beginning.

Brexit and Tory voters are gross.

Libtards and panderers are worse.

"For twenty years I was an out-of-work actor." That's even longer than Ford Prefect. He was only out of work for fifteen years!

No it isn't. They have to be told.

Well done, to Johnathan, excellent and sadly accurate

Pie is excellent, been keeping me entertained since day 1👌

Why is it gross? The people whose faces got eaten have a real grievance against those who let the face-eating leopard party in.

The best newscaster in the world Jonathan Pie.

I go for the rants but Pie cracks me up, too

OMG 😱 Jonathan Partridge-Tucker! 😅

actually this is what we need! i call them worse things, but that would never be televised

Ian Hislop has managed to satirise all sides, and for broadly the same failings as Pie does. I'll be surprised if Tom Walker doesn't make the same shift if (when?) we get a different government.

Love you, Tom/Jonathan.

that is an excellent 1 second clip of Peter Capaldi :P

...what do news reporters do between turds... A wonderful turn of phrase. "Thinking while speaking" is wonderful when somebody says the truth while speaking out loud. Comedy, satire and irony are the comic's best friend.

The Labour party introduced the minimum wage, the NHS, workers rights etc. The politicians are not all the same. The tory party are responsible for the mess .They only care about their bank balance.

The current tories are the worst. But the Labour Party didn’t introduce workers rights. That was the liberal party from 1830 up to ww1. The Labour Party continued the tradition. And although I would applaud the NHS and the minimum wage, they also introduced the ;government messing with private businesses’ philosophy that destroyed our automotive and aviation industries. Nobody is perfect.

Actually, this is the first time I've seen that is not his real name 😂😂😂

A Mullet in 2024!!!!! Get this interviewer to a Barber STAT!!

Spitting image,the original series,was for me the best satire ever.....no one was safe.

I agree with much of what he says, and I speak as someone who has only ever voted Tory

Superb!

He is truly a breath of fresh air, plus a bonus that he hates the tory mentality

Tom is brilliant. I just wish he would actually stand for parliament. He would get my vote. He talks sense just like the late great George Carlin did re America and the world. We need more people like Tom. He makes you laugh but also makes you think and realise and question what type of world we are all living in.

His latest show is amazing I cannot recommend it enough

I hope he does go after the left wing because we HAVE to satirize ourselves when we too go too far

Because he and his like will never be in a position to be subject to the awful struggles that many of his fellow Britons suffer on a day to day basis as a result of his party's horrible attitude to the less fortunate in society.

Lovely interview

He is not against selling weapons that kill children. I will never vote for that.

Starmer might have been an interesting alternative if he hadn’t of bent the knee to the BLM grift .

Over half the country are centre right, tory/brexit voters. Amazes me that people talk about them like its a small fringe group of people 😂

You haven't been reading election results correctly, more than half the country voted against both Tories and Brexit and seen them turn extreme right, then break Britain with delusional policies.

Amazes me as well. I'm not attacking the Tory voters however I have a few of them around me who still think Brexit was good for the country, that the NHS is in difficulties because of immigrants and those desperate boat people and not the politicians they've elected, etc. There's no way to change their minds.

Eh…no. Brexit yes, Tories no. The Tories and Reform combined are about 34% right now, and with Johnson they got 43% of the vote.

That is completely false. The only reason that the Conservatives have been so successful historically, is that the non-Tory vote has always been split, sometimes 3 or 4 ways. The fact that Brexshit voting, GB News watching trash now have a "viable" (!?) alternative in Reform, simply balances things up a bit electorally.
