Jeremy Clarkson has blasted Prime Minister Liz Truss as having the “IQ of a stone” as he compared the delivery of her reading at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral to that of a “Dalek”. The Clarkson’s Farm star, 62, compared her eulogy to that of other country leaders who delivered theirs with “feeling”, while likening her to a six-year-old reading poetry.
She had said it all wrong. I couldn’t believe it.

The Top Gear presenter didn’t hold back as he recalled the first time he heard the new Prime Minister speak.
Jeremy revealed it was when the leader of the country delivered the Monarch’s eulogy, which he said sounded like “a six-year-old who’d been told to read John Donne poetry out in class.”
He continued: “It sounded like it was being read by someone who couldn’t understand what the words meant.
“Or by someone who had the IQ of a stone.”
The Grand Tour host applauded other nation’s leaders over their tributes, including Justin Trudeau and Emmanual Macron, saying they gave theirs with “feeling”.
However, the Diddly Squat Farm owner told how he was once again left speechless when the PM stood and gave a second reading at the Queen’s funeral, which he branded “more wooden than the altar.”
Jeremy went on: “She probably thought, as she sat down afterwards, that she’d done a good job.
“She’d got all the words in the correct order and hadn’t accidentally used the word “vagina”.
“But it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. And she had said it all wrong. I couldn’t believe it.
“It sounded like she was telling people the post office would be closing in 15 minutes. She sounded like a Dalek,” he added in his column in The Times.
Truss paid tribute to the Queen from outside of 10 Downing Street following her death.
She ended her tribute: “With the passing of the second Elizabethan age, we usher in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country, exactly as Her Majesty would have wished, by saying the words … God save the King.”
It comes after Jeremy slammed David Attenborough’s Frozen Planet II, claiming the days the programme was “fun” have gone.
The star wrote the new series of the show is only concerned with pushing the “message on climate change”, as he took issue with the popular BBC series, while slamming the wildlife expert’s alleged “lack of involvement” with the creation of the show.
Jeremy penned: “Today, Sir Attenborough is too old to appear in the films and I’m afraid he doesn’t even write the script any more.”
He went on to claim the show is now written by people who are keen to push the message of climate change.
Jeremy went on: “He just reads out words that have been written by a team of vegan communists who have only one thing on their minds.
“Climate change,” he wrote in his column for The Sun.
The Clarkson’s Farm star branded the series a “joke”, claiming it’s hitting the “‘climate change is bad’ gong.”
He continued: “I’ve been watching Frozen Planet II and it’s a joke, because we learn nothing at all.”
