Lulu, 76, makes feelings clear on ‘chauvinistic pig’ Donald Trump in rare politics stance during scathing debate
Singer Lulu has expressed her strong view on President Trump, agreeing that the 78-year-old is a “chauvinist pig”.
The Scottish singer, 76, recently welcomed actor and well-known Trump critic Brian Cox, 78, on her podcast, and the two soon began discussing the political situation in the US.
During the conversation on The Lulu Podcast, the two Scots compared their different treatments and behaviours after Lulu admitted: “I want to be more forthright like you.”
“You can be – I always thought you are forthright,” the Succession star assured her.
“With you… With you I am,” Lulu argued, adding: “I don’t say, ‘Oh, she’s an idiot she can’t sing two notes,’ where you’ll say that about an actor and the person listening will go, ‘I actually think he’s right.’
“That’s what happens sometimes, with people’s personalities, they’ve got that side of them – and I think it’s got a lot to do with being male.
“Female… You know, you do things like that and they say, ‘What a b****.’ If it’s a guy they go, ‘God, he’s very assertive.'”
The actor agreed, confessing: “I feel sorry for women. I mean, particularly what’s happening in America now.

“The next four years for women is going to be misery. Absolute misery, because he is a chauvinist pig of the first order.”
Sharing her own feelings on the situation, Lulu concurred: “100 percent.”
Cox continued: “I mean, I think that’s one of the problems we’ve got, politically, we don’t allow women to be in their own sensibility, we want them to be like men and I find that really offensive.
“And that gets me down because I had three sisters and they were fantastic, and my mum. So women were very powerful in my life, but in life, they get the tap end of the bath.”
Laughing at the actor’s phrasing, Lulu requested: “Speak in English please.”
“Well the tap end of the bath is the end of the bath that’s got the taps…” Cox elaborated.
“You know, you sit in the bath and that’s the uncomfortable end, they often get the uncomfortable end.”
“Very well put, I agree with you,” the Shout singer responded.
“It’s certainly happening with this clown in America now,” Cox went on.
“Abortion rights, all of that stuff. They have no idea the horror that’s going to come out of all of that.”
Cox has been vocal about his opinion on the current US president since last year’s election result.
Just last month, he admitted he wouldn’t watch the film The Apprentice despite the fact it stars his Succession colleague, Jeremy Strong.
“The problem is I won’t watch anything that is to do with Donald Trump,” he stated on The Jonathan Ross Show.
“Donald Trump is in The Apprentice, Jeremy is playing the lawyer. I have seen Kieran’s film [A Real Pain] and he’s wonderful.
“And I’m sure Jeremy is wonderful, so I can’t really judge because I will not watch anything to do with that man – I’m talking about Trump.”
Cox also risked the wrath of Ofcom earlier this year when he called Trump a “c***” during a live broadcast of Channel 4’s The Last Leg.
