The comic, famous for his Pub Landlord alter-ego, made the remarks while promoting his BBC Radio 5 Live show, which takes “a sideways look at the week’s news”.
Murray, 45, said that he was “fed up with the idea that satire is a natural expression of left-wing views”.

Murray said: “I don’t know why we struggle to produce decent satire. We’re not short of clever, snarky people.”
