Politics Hannah Spencer Laila Cunningham nigel farage
Laila Cunningham said Nigel Farage ‘has been very honest’ and Green MP Hannah Spencer’s response surely spoke for the entire observable universe
To the studios of BBC2’s Newsnight, where Reform UK-er and London mayoral hopeful Laila Cunningham was on duty to speak on behalf of Nigel Farage, who prefers to do his talking via pre-recorded video clips these days.
Cunningham was naturally standing up for her big boss’s decision to stand down as an MP in Clacton so he can immediately stand for election as an MP in Clacton, a valiant attempt to take on the establishment of course and not at all an attempt to divert attention from all those millions he’s been pocketing.
Anyway, this particular line of defence from Cunningham prompted a ‘noises off’ knee-jerk reaction from fellow guest, Green MP Hannah Spencer, and it surely spoke not just for us but the entire observable universe.

Apology not accepted! Because it was 100% not necessary.

Green MP Hannah Spencer literally laughed out loud at Laila Cunningham. It was such a funny moment! Laila struggled all programme but she collapsed after that! 🤣 https://t.co/3yRk5BWkK0

“Nigel’s been very honest”
How can anyone keep a straight face with that comment.

Don’t ever apologise Hannah, it’s actually nice to hear a genuine emotion from an MP 😂

And if you fancy a little bit more of where that came from, here is a longer clip from Tuesday night’s Newsnight.
Quite possibly the worst edition of BBC Newsnight ever
