THE DEPUTY LEADER of the Green Party was left squirming after Andrew Neil branded her party “extreme” during a car-crash interview.
Amelia Womack was quizzed on BBC Two’s Daily Politics after she called Theresa May’s Brexit strategy “extreme”.
But the TV host turned her words against her and questioned the intentions of her party.
He blasted: “You use the word ‘extreme’ but let’s just look at the position of Government in a number of things at the moment.
“It wants the closest possible relationship with the EU, it is in favour of continued participation in Nato, it’s in favour of free trade and it wants to manage migration but not stop migration.
“Your party is against Nato, against defence spending, in favour of no controls on immigration and now largely against free trade. I wonder who the extreme party really is? I would suggest it’s maybe you.”
Ms Womack responded to the outburst but attempted to swerve the attack.
