Is politics now crazier than satire?


Jeremy Corbyn appeared to relish being able to stand up in the House of Commons on Tuesday and say that Labour could offer "strong and stable" leadership in contrast to the "coalition of chaos" opposite. When real life politics delivers those sorts of moments, where does that leave political comedy? Armando Iannucci, creator of The Thick of It talks to Mishal Husain about the change in satire and how the roles of politician and comedian have reversed.
