Ann Widdecombe tells Owen Jones to 'stop SQUEAKING'
The former Tory politician repeatedly slapped down the author as they discussed the political future of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as Brexit talks progress.
Mr Jones said EU states are "increasingly" relating to Corbyn as they would with a "Prime Minister in waiting," sparking a raucous response from Ms Widdecombe.
She hit back: "That was quite an endearing visit to dreamland, that was!"
Debating the progress of Brexit on After the News, Mrs Widdecombe slammed Jones' attempts to attack the British Government's negotiating strategy with Brussels.
She said: "Only an idiot wouldn't have known that it was going to be difficult."
The retired politicians also repeatedly blocked the writer's several attempts to interrupt her mid-speech, saying: "Just let me finish! Be quiet.
"Stop squeaking. Of course, it was always going to be difficult."
Malta PM hails May for 'best Brexit speech yet' at EU summit
The heated exchange came after Prime Minister Theresa May joined the heads of EU member states at a crunch Brussels summit.
The Prime Minister made clear that the patience of UK voters with soaring EU demands for a multi-billion divorce payment was running out.
And she urged them to make a "joint effort and endeavour" to hammer out a departure deal for Britain that will deliver "prosperity for all our peoples."
Mrs May's stark message follows growing exasperation among Brexit-backing Tory MPs and anti-Brussels campaigners at the EU's spiralling cash demands.
