Krishnan Guru-Murthy’s clarification of this NSFW description of Jacob Rees-Mogg was A++
It’s a sign of how good Krishnan Guru-Murthy is at holding power to account that we’ve really not been missing his former Channel 4 News colleague, Jon Snow.
And this moment from last night’s bulletin was classic KGM.
It came when Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett was asked about business secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg’s take on the economic woes that have consumed Liz Truss’s premiership.
And it’s not about what Tett said – well, it is – but it’s mostly about the Guru-Murthy clarification that came later. Watch to the end!
Incredible scenes on channel 4. Worth staying for the last five seconds of this pic.twitter.com/qds3Clep83

Bravo.
And here are just a few of the things people were saying about it after the clip went wildly viral on Twitter.
Brilliant!
Last 5 seconds totally threw me.

Channel 4 news is literally the best UK news programme. Honestly.

Careful Krishnan, they’ll be dusting off those privatisation plans next.
To conclude …
KGM is a treasure
