Of all the name-calling and online posturing directed towards President Trump during his first term in office, one of the worst offenders was undoubtedly the then backbencher David Lammy. Now Foreign Secretary, and with Trump set to return to the White House a week today, Lammy is having to bite the bullet and back track in humiliating fashion. Who'd have thought that calling the President a 'tyrant' and 'a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath' would have come back to haunt daft Dave in such a way? It sure is a joy to watch him consume a huge slice of humble pie every time he is asked about his previous remarks.
"That's old news" Lammy told ITV's Shehab Khan in a recent interview, before declaring that he found the President-elect 'very gracious' during their meal together last November. Khan then prods Lammy with the zinger: "Is that all it takes for you to change your mind, a free meal?"
Lammy tries to laugh it all off, but inside he is dying. Watch the clip below.
