It's not often Kimmel can bag on political slip-ups in other countries, but this week was the exception.

Kimmel took a break from fighting healthcare reform and ripping into Trump to turn his comedy gaze upon the UK. He presented Theresa May's disastrous Conservative party conference speech to America, summing up the run of bad luck that had beset the prime minister.

Kimmel said of the prankster who handed the prime minister a P45 form (the UK equivalent of a pink slip) that it was "one of the most British things I've ever seen."

It's good to know that British politics are shambolic enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with scandals such as the secretary of state calling the president a 'moron'. National pride is at record levels.
