Chair: Lenore Taylor

According to Armando Iannucci: \u201cAn infinite number of gag-writers, working all day in a gag factory, couldn\u2019t come up with any of the perfectly-formed one-liners that populate Marina Hyde\u2019s hilarious writing\u2026 But behind the wit lurks real anger, argument, exasperation and intelligence. Her writing is more than a gentle poke in the ribs: it\u2019s a well-wrought and deftly aimed smash in the teeth." Journalist Marina Hyde joins Lenore Taylor to talk about her new book and take us on a wild ride, from David Cameron to Liz Truss, the dangerous idiocy of the Trump presidency and never-ending royal capers.
