Host Jack Dee referred to the departing Prime Minister as a 'cosmic ****,' a moment that was met with a slew of laughter in the studio. Mr Johnson may have taken cocaine, according to panelists. When he meets MPs on the Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) committee on Tuesday, BBC Director-General Tim Davie is likely to be grilled about the slurs and other allegations of impartiality. In attacking Ms Truss and Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries, the satirical program was also accused of "blatant sexism."
