The comic the next Labour leader could learn a lot from

Forde's hour-long routine is jam-packed with crisply comedic analysis and uncanny mimicry, although at times it feels as if you're listening to Tony Blair's cheeky younger brother. It is safe to say more than 48 per cent of his Monday-night audience were Remainers, but he offers much for Brexiteers to enjoy too. If Labour's next leader wants to reconnect with the party's lost voters, they need to bring back Forde and learn how to deliver their shtick with his charm and humour.
