On Tuesday 11th November, Barry appeared on Newsnight.
When asked about the government’s performance, Barry gave the following response:
‘Because this government from the beginning, actually from before it was a government, has cared more about extirpating the people who disagreed with it than they have about setting out a clear programme and policy. And quite honestly, everyday people looking at this tonight are going to say, for God's sake, what do these politicians think they're doing? You know, you circle the wagons and you end up in a circular firing squad.’
