Programmes like HIGNFY and The News Quiz are written to be balanced according to the rules
I've not seen the full episode (unfortunately the YouTube uploads that normally appear briefly the day after have been missing this series) but he's directly tells the Conservatives to 'f*** off into the sun you c***s, ****pigs and wierdos'. They're not going to be balancing that out with episodes about other parties and neither do they have to, but Sky can't show that
I watched the entire programme yesterday (it is on YouTube, just blocked in this country due to the Sky deal)
The entire segment starts with Sunak calling the election and the rain. He then covers the Lib Dems, Labour, Reform and the Conservatives in order. He makes a bunch of jokes about Davey's stunts, basically calls Starmer the most boring person alive and says no-one can name any of his policies but he's gonna win anyway. Then he goes into Reform & Farage's history, and does the same with the Conservatives.
I suspect the problem is due weight of the attacks (They are certainly more stacked in a certain direction than the other) and the fact he states that's basically impossible for Starmer to lose at this point.
