The Grand Tour presenter, 62, wrote in his Sunday Times column: “Many people are now saying that we should rid the country of the monarchy because this ancient institution is no longer relevant.

“I respect that point of view, and I hope they respect mine when I suggest the department that has to go is the NHS.”

Clarkson also reflected on the current cost of living crisis, which has left many households struggling.

In his latest column he said our current economic system is “un-understandable and completely un-unreliable”.

‘Even if the government taxed the country’s top 20 billionaires 100 per cent of every single thing they own, it’d still only get £266 billion,’ he wrote.

“And it’d waste it on something stupid. And it’d only get it once,’ he added.
