When host Fiona Bruce joked that he should ‚tell us what you really think‘, Charlie proceeded to oblige with an excoriating verdict on the state of British politics.

‚The whole thing‘s a nightmare. I‘m just sick and tired,‘ he said. ‚You‘ve had three years and three months and you‘ve done nothing but argue among yourselves like little kids.

‚You‘ve got no respect for each other and you‘ve got no respect for the British people. Just.. oh.. pfft.. go away.‘

The intervention sparked rapturous applause on the show, and a wave of support on social media. One user responded: ‚I think Charlie speaks for us all.‘
