Gary Neville did not hold back when talking about Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday's Good Morning Britain.
The former footballer was on the ITV breakfast show to discuss the Universal Credit cut and butted heads with former politician Edwina Currie.
During the debate, Gary, 46, said: "Boris Johnson, to me, isn't good enough really to be Prime Minister of this country, if I'm being basic.
"He's a bit of a spaghetti bolognese of a man - he looks scruffy, each of his sentences and speeches are almost like a strand of spaghetti - you have no idea where it starts, and you certainly have no idea where it ends, and yet he's a popular."
Gary continued: "And if you look at a menu and you've sort of got a waiter or a waitress on your shoulder asking you to make a choice and you have to make a panicky decision, you end up going for your spaghetti bolognese and we need really good alternatives to the spaghetti bolognese."
His comments came after he slammed Edwina for suggesting people should get a job as opposed to relying on Universal Credit.
Gary mocked Edwina for suggesting people could train to be a chef in a short space of time.
"You can't train to be a chef in five minutes by the way," he told her, but this led her to suggest that you can train to be a kitchen porter.
"For you to say someone should go and be a kitchen porter is just ridiculous!" Gary told her.
"It's a scandal, for you to say that someone should go and be a kitchen porter. You go and be a kitchen porter. You wouldn't do it herself so why would you go and ask someone else to do it!"
Edwina had earlier said: "What we have to realise is we've got something like a million vacancies being advertised in this country.
"It doesn't make any kind of sense to pay people to stay at home," she continued.
"There's 30 million people out there who are listening to me as I say, 'the best benefit is a job'. The economy needs people to get into work."
Gary hit back calmly: "Well, let me just translate what Edwina has just said for people up and down the country because it's a message Conservative MPs have been entrenching in our minds for a long time.
"The first thing that Edwina said was ,'I'm okay here, we're okay here', which is the first thing a Conservative MP does, they look after themselves.
"The next thing she said was, 'go and get a job, get off your backsides you lazy sods. Stop watching Good Morning Britain and go and get a job'."
Gary continued: "I trust the population of this country, I work on the theory that people at home aren't sitting there lazy, they really want a good job, they really want good pay, they really want their mental health to be sorted.
"To me the language is always divisive, it's not helpful. It's really dangerous, we're one team in this country, we're one group of people.
"Honestly, to remove Universal Credit payments at this moment in time is brutal. Let's be clear, it's brutal," he added.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
