Andrew Bridgen getting trolled on Newsnight was worth every penny of the licence fee
Political activist Steve Bray is something of a fixture outside Westminster. With his eye-catching anti-Brexit clothes, creative banners and placards, and a megaphone, there’s no chance of him fading into the background.
This was how he led protests against the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill on Monday night.

Later, Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen had a verbal tussle with Steve, live on Newsnight, as Faisal Islam interviewed the avid Brexiter about his call for Boris Johson to resign.
Here’s how it panned out.

The village idiot is in front of the camera.
After the broadcast, he tweeted this.
I hope you all enjoyed my cameo on Newsnight with Bridgen. 😂😂😂

We did, Steve. We did. And so did these people.
