Adam Hills was visibly outraged as he delved into the recent events that took place in the House of Commons. The host of The Last Leg, known for his unapologetic opinions, did not hold back in expressing his views on the antics of Parliament this week.
In particular, Hills focused on the chaos that erupted in the House on Wednesday when Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle faced calls to resign. The cause? A vote on a ceasefire in Gaza that went awry. This led to a vote of no confidence in the speaker, submitted by 57 MPs, after he broke with convention and allowed a Labour amendment to pass without a formal vote. This decision ultimately meant that the SNP, who had proposed the ceasefire, were unable to vote on their own proposition.
The whole scene was filled with jeers and unruly behavior, which many have deemed as childish. As The Last Leg returned for a new series, Hills couldn't help but joke about the situation, saying, "There are now rumors that Hamas have called for a ceasefire in Westminster."
But the humor quickly dissipated as Hills, along with co-hosts Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe, delved into the seriousness of the situation. Hills called out the government to be "ashamed" of their actions and read out shocking statistics about the atrocities faced by children in Gaza.
Brooker and Widdicombe joined in, labeling the MPs' behavior as "pathetic" and likening them to "spoiled children." Hills continued to share more statistics, highlighting the devastating impact of the Hamas attacks and the number of innocent children who have lost their lives.
He then turned to his co-hosts and asked, "Lads, do you think anyone on the ground in Gaza gives a flying frog's fat a**s about what went on in Parliament this week?" Both Brooker and Widdicombe agreed that the whole ordeal was simply a game of party politics, distracting from the larger and more important debate about the safety of children.
Hills was not the only celebrity to speak out against the government's actions this week. Fashion designer Katharine Hamnett made headlines when she filmed herself throwing her CBE in the bin, stating that she is "disgusted to be British" over the war. The 76-year-old activist, known for her statement slogan T-shirts, shared a video of herself dumping the award into a wheelie bin while wearing a top that read, "Disgusted To Be British."
