Joe Lycett has continued his satirical reign of terror after Liz Truss was confirmed as Britains next prime minister.

Lycett made the front page of the Daily Mail on Monday morning (5 September), hours before Truss was confirmed as the new Tory leader and incoming PM, over his sarcastic appearance on the BBCs Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.

After Truss was interviewed by Kuenssberg, Lycett left the host stunned by insisting that while left-wing voices might dismiss Truss as the backwash of the available [Tory] MPs, he would never say that because he is incredibly right-wing.

He continued his bit afterTruss win was announced, excitedly congratulating her in a tweet so tongue-in-cheek he could have poked a hole through his lip.

Yes [Liz Truss] absolutely smashed it babe! he wrote, and fans revelledin the passive-aggression.

Some users took the chance to lambast the newly-appointed Conservative leaders victory speech, in which she promised voting members that we will deliver, we will deliver, we will deliver, and we will deliver a great victory for the Conservative Party in 2024.

Im feeling like she will deliver, one user wrote. Maybe deliver some more and then deliver after that. Not sure what shes delivering. But Im guessing it will be like when a Royal Mail person pops a red card in the door, yet hasnt actually knocked.

While many gleefully played along with Joe Lycetts hilarious concept of being a Liz Truss supporter, the nihilism of having a Conservative leader who has failed to produce any plans on the cost of living crisis and has denied trans women are womenseemed too overwhelming to fake.

Smashed what? The economy? Workers rights? Hope? Our futures? one user said, while another added: And now shes going to smash the country. Yay.

It comes after Joe Lycetts jabs at the Conservative party during a guest spot on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.

After Truss gave her only interview of the leadership race to Kuenssberg, Lycett was heard cheering on the soon-to-be prime minister.

He later explained, with an air of irony so thick you could barely see the coy grin forming on his face:I know theres been criticism in theThe Mail on Sunday today about leftie liberal wokie comedians on the BBC.Im actually very right wing and I love it. I thought she gave great clear answers. I know exactly what shes up to.

After the Mail dedicated its front page to criticising his appearance on the show, Lycett responded in a tweet, saying: Ill be off to the framers in the morning.

Since then, right-wing outrage has been in full force over Lycetts jokes. Daily Express political editor Sam Lister reportedly wrote an enraged piece calling out the British comedian for the television spot, calling him a loose cannon comedian.

Meanwhile, GB News commentator Darren Grimes tweeted his own outrage, saying: The BBC offered us the opinions of comedian Joe Lycett and Emily Thornberry for the launch of their flagship political programme this morning. Riiiiiiiiight.
