These 2 bickering politicians on Sky News perfectly captures the shitshow British politics has become
If ever you needed a one-minute reminder of the total and utter shambles that British politics has become, here it is.
It’s pro-Brexit Tory MP David Davies and Labour’s pro-EU MP Anna Turley having a discussion (of sorts) with Sky News presenter Kay Burley.
This is how it ended.

What an absolute shower of shit.
And here’s a flavour of what people made of it.
This is staggeringly awful

Did he actually defend the awful impact of Brexit by saying “Well, the Treasury said that would happen” as if that was any kind of argument??

It's like @Baddiel and Newman on History Today. 'I'm sorry I can't hear you, I'm busy drinking my drink…'

She was just talking at him at 100mph. To be fair I'd have done the same.

then you definitely shouldn't be in a job where you're required to talk to people and respond to their points e.g. a member of parliament

Just in case it couldn’t get more awful, Burley then shared some of the abuse she’d been getting as a result.
This was in my inbox this morning.

Stay classy, UK.
Here’s what Davies said later.
Im quite happy to retweet & let people make up their own minds as to who was being discourteous. No idea what @KayBurley was doing – thought the interviewer role involved keeping the debate under control. https://t.co/emCjWJRW2I

And Kay Burley’s reply.
Oh, Mr D, what about the rest of the interview? Did you not have a fair hearing during the 12+ minutes?
Shame you felt the need to have a little strop. Rather underlines voters views of politicians, methinks https://t.co/r7flbP9z1G
