Francesca Martinez says Tories have 'blood on their hands'

A speech about austerity by comedian Francesca Martinez has gone viral and been called the "best ever moment" on Question Time.

Martinez, who was a panellist on the show, said the Tory government had "blood on its hands", citing research which showed over 130,000 people had died from austerity.

The comedian, who has cerebral palsy, said it was "absolutely outrageous".

"That's 130,000 mums, dads, daughters, sons, uncles and aunts who have died because the Tories and the Lib Dems decided to make ordinary people pay for a crash that was caused by bankers, who we bailed out."
