John Oliver Wants Lord Buckethead to Serve as the UK’s Brexit Negotiator

If you’re confused about what’s happening over in the UK lately between the early snap election that backfired on Prime Minister Theresa May and the upcoming Brexit negotiations, you’re in luck, because during last night’s Last Week Tonight, John Oliver broke down what it all means, what lies ahead, and what could happen for the UK if they fail to finalize Brexit negotiations over the next two years.
