His column for the new-ish news provider The Nerve covers everything from Trump's madness to Westminster's rat problem.

After the first few confusing weeks of a war, the reporting usually becomes a bit more focused because the battle lines are clearer and there's more time for analysis.

But that is absolutely not the case when this particular US president is involved.

Most of this week has been taken up by journalists trying to work out if there are talks happening between the US and Iran.

It's dizzying stuff and you would think it would keep somebody incredibly occupied, but somehow the American president still found the time to share a clip from the new Saturday Night Live UK version on Sky, which featured this imitation of Keir Starmer being a right old wimp.

Cash gigs with Stuart declared all up.

If you're listening, God damn it.

Obviously, we want to talk more about The Nerve and how you came to work with them.

But first off, I mean, where do you even start with how you respond satirically to a figure who is themselves seemingly delighted by their own satirization?

I know that you and I share some of the same frustrations about this, but what do you say when someone says to you, boy, isn't Trump great for comedy?

You must be so pleased as a comedian about Donald Trump and Nigel Farage and Brexit.

You know, basically the last decade, I bet...

I know that people must be saying that to you three or four times a week, because they're saying it to me three or four times a week.

I just think it's really important to identify this is a sort of key cornerstone of Coco Khan's charm, that you can put a statement out like everyone in Britain is now a South Asian woman.

You think, what in the name of God are you fucking talking about?

And then somehow she will bring it back.

It will be brought around and it will be justified cleanly.

Obviously, it's been a week of, I guess, like interesting excitement in British comedy specifically, because outside of any other...

feelings people might have about the show.

It is the first time in a long time that any television channel in Britain has spent that amount of money and brought in that volume of, particularly in terms of the cast and writers, a lot of very young talent, which is, you know, it's very exciting.
