‘Icing on the cake’: Steve Bray calls Andrew Bridgen a ‘village idiot’ during live TV interview

Steve Bray described the moment he called Andrew Bridgen a “village idiot” on live TV the “icing on the cake” following a long day protesting the Policing Bill outside parliament.

The government suffered a series of defeats in the House of Lords late last night over its plans to clamp down on disruptive and noisy protesters.

Opposition peers voted against a range of measures in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, with Labour calling some of the plans “outrageous”.

Peers also voted to make misogyny a hate crime in England and Wales in another government defeat.

Protests

Throughout the debate, drum noises from a demonstration against the bill could be heard in the Lords’ chamber.

One of those protesting was the everpresent Steve Bray, who had this hilarious exchange with Tory MP Andrew Brigen on live TV:

“Icing on the cake”

Speaking on his Twitter account shortly after he said it had been an “eventful evening”, but the “icing on the cake was the Bridgen interview”.

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.
