Top Tory made tit of himself on Question Time and the audience reaction was epic
Policing minister Chris Philp has been ridiculed after appearing to confuse the countries of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo on Question Time.
Responding to an audience member’s question during the BBC One programme, the Tory MP for Croydon South seemed to ask whether ‘Rwanda is a different country to Congo’.
The comment caused a short outburst of laughter from some members of the debate programme’s audience, while others could be seen with their head in their hands in disbelief.
The camera then cut to a bewildered-looking shadow health secretary Wes Streeting, whose eyes darted around the room.
