LBC presenter James O’Brien has ridiculed Conservative MP John Redwood over his optimistic post-Brexit plans in a typically brutal put-down live on air.

In a hilarious spoof, the presenter said he wished cash machines had a John Redwood optimism button, dispensing more money than you actually have in your account.

The Conservatives, who are traditionally renowned for their fiscal responsibility, have run into problems after the Office of Budgetary Responsibility reported that the economic forecasts for the last seven or eight years have been overly optimistic.

But Redwood tweeted earlier today that the Treasury should be more optimistic and “find the money for a successful economy post Brexit”.

O’Brien said the traditionalist Tory, who is from very much the right wing of the party, has “apparently been under the impression for his entire political career that there’s a bunch of money in the Treasury that the Chancellor just hasn’t found yet.

“It’s just a question of looking in the right places. Yeah go on then, most obviously perhaps down the back of the sofas.”

Watch the full clip below:

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
