Politics comebacks Jess Phillips Kay Burley Kay Burley’s Jess Phillips slam dunk wasn’t the ‘gotcha’ she thought it was and the internet replied as one Poke Staff . Updated December 3rd, 2024 Share Tweet Over on Sky News – stick with us – Kay Burley was keen to ask Labour MP Jess Phillips, the minister for safeguarding and violence against women and girls, about the Elgin Marbles which may or may not be on their way back to Greece in some shape or form. Fair question, you might think, but not as good as Phillips’ magnificently dead bat response.
#KayBurley : What are we going to do about the Elgin Marbles? Jess Phillips: “Gosh, do you know what Kay, I don’t know what we’re going to do about the Elgin Marbles...
there’s probably a perfectly sensible solution.., but it’s very rarely raised with me on the doorstep.

Common sense. Empathy. Grounded in reality.
Direct yet respectful. — PermanentlyCurious (@Permanentcuriou) December 3, 2024 And indeed this. Magnificent response to the aspiring Queen of Gotcha.
Good on you @jessphillips — scarlett636 (@shhhyounohoo) December 3, 2024 Except Burley’s last words in the interview – and this subsequent tweet – suggested she had somehow managed to emerge on top. Kay: What are we going to do about the Elgin Marbles? Is @jessphillips lost for words here? #KayBurley SS pic.twitter.
com/CGnpAawdw7 — Kay Burley (@KayBurley) December 3, 2024 In one word: no. No Kay, Jess Phillips clearly isn’t lost for words. She answered your ridiculous question well.
— Nicky Busst (@NickyBusst) December 3, 2024 Nice spin. But instead of asking sensible questions she rightly pointed out it’s not a concern on the doorstep. Well done Jess! — bona-fide YT (@bonafideYT) December 3, 2024 No, she’s taking the piss out of your inane questioning.
— Cllr Lee Steptoe (@lees1969) December 3, 2024 No. She answered articulately and made you look a fool. — Anne Tomato (@AnneTomato3) December 3, 2024 How keen was Burley to talk about the Elgin Marbles today? This keen.
