Gyles Brandreth was wanging on about ‘woke’ and Ashley James’ magnificent response should be available on prescription
Time now to return to the studios of ITV’s This Morning – no, stick with us – where former Tory MP and Countdown conundrum Gyles Brandreth was wanging on about ‘woke’.
Now, it’s best to take Brandreth’s stories with a pinch (cellar) of salt after he proudly declared on the same programme that ITV had commissioned a six-part drama with Sheridan Smith as Kate Middleton (they haven’t).
This time around he said he’d taken the precaution of talking to a programme producer before sharing the latest ‘thing’ he’d heard.
And we’re glad he did because his fellow guest Ashley James was on hand to tell him exactly what she made of her story, a vital definition of ‘woke’ that should be made available on prescription for anyone who needs it (starting with you, Brandreth).
ALLY-SHIP IN ACTION.

This summed up my thoughts on the word ‘woke’ far more eloquently than I ever could. https://t.co/YxwT51NUcf

This is the most succinct way of summing up WOKE and the snowflakes who believe the whipped up & manufactured culture wars. https://t.co/7kACFOdobt

This is great and the cherry on top is that Gyles Brandreth makes cosy jumpers his whole brand, and she even out-did him in that too. She ate him up. https://t.co/rquSzW1dEj
