Joe Lycett ruthlessly mocked the Tory government at the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony in Birmingham.

The Brummie comedian didn’t hold back as he introduced a group of Commonwealth athletes during Thursday’s ceremony (28 July).

“I’m going to do something now that the British government doesn’t always do, and welcome some foreigners, this time from the region of Asia,” Lycett said, resplendent in a pink tracksuit with frilly sleeves.

Following his jibe he later tweeted at home secretary Priti Patel, saying it was “just a bit of banter”.

soz @pritipatel just a bit of banter tehehe
