Ian Hislop praised for ‘obliterating’ Tory chair during Post Office debate: ‘You can’t just talk nonsense’
The Independent says Ian Hislop has been heralded for “obliterating” Conservative Party chair Jake Berry while debating the Tories’ “disgraceful” handling of the Post Office Horizon scandal.
The Have I Got News For You captain appeared on Robert Peston’s ITV show on Wednesday (10 January) alongside Conservative Party chair Jake Berry, with Labour MP Jess Phillips sat in the middle as the pair clashed.
Discussion turned to the handling of the historic Post Office scandal, after prime minister Rishi Sunak confirmed that a new law will be introduced so those wrongly convicted of theft, fraud and false accounting in 1999 are “swiftly exonerated and compensated”.
