🧵 THREAD: Another year on normal island over. Here’s a thread of British political moments from 2021 which prove just how ridiculous this country is:
1/ In a clip which sums everything up, Boris Johnson had to be asked 'is everything OK' by a reporter
2/ Michael Gove busting out the most unhinged dance moves of the century, let alone 2021
3/ Tony Blair unveiling his new, ridiculous lockdown hair
4/ Rishi Sunak having to backtrack after outing himself as a 'coke addict' to some schoolkids
5/ Matt Hancock running away from reporters
6/ And then Matt Hancock having to release this toe-curling resignation video
7/ Dom Cummings trying in vain to explain a meme to a select committee, an experience felt by every young person trying to explain the internet at Christmas
8/ Tory MP Charles Walker committing to walking around with a pint of milk in protest at.....something
9/ And then actually turning up to TV interviews with a pint of milk
10/ This MP claiming that men were being driven to crime because Dr Who is played by a woman
11/ COP President Alok Sharma dubbing himself 'No Drama Sharma'
12/ Liz Truss simply....refusing to define a party
13/ Keir 'hell yes I'm tuss enough' Starmer donning the boxing gloves
14/ Whatever the fuck this was
15/ Dominic Raab thinking 'the sea was closed' might be a defence which works in his favour
16/ Nicki Minaj sending for Boris. The way she says "BBBawris" will haunt me forever
17/ Boris then addressing the beef in an official press conference
18/ YouTuber Niko Omilana running for London Mayor as a joke but actually getting more votes than Laurence Fox
19/ Boris donning a police uniform for the start of 'crime week' - which went fantastically for the government
20/ Dom Cummings throwing his weight behind #FreeBritney
21/ Steve Baker removing Nadine Dorries from a Tory WhatsApp group and then dropping the most savage Bitmoji of all time
22/ Obviously, Allegra Stratton's resignation video
23/ Again, however many times you watch Boris Johnson's Peppa Pig speech, it doesn't get better
24/ Therese Coffey belting out this Dirty Dancing banger at Tory conference, just as benefits are being cut
25/ Boris Johnson having to use his speech at COP26 to deny that this is a corrupt country
26/ When, as Afghanistan was falling, everyone was obsessed with Pen Farthing and his dogs
27/ Geoffrey Cox, definitely not carrying out his second job from his parliamentary office
28/ In a taste of life after politics for everyone in this thread, former deputy PM Nick Clegg gives a terrifying interview inside the Metaverse
29/ When the Home Office made the most lit video in existence, inspired by anti-piracy VHS ads, to make people stay home
It was deleted after people complained to the Home Office that it would trigger epileptic fits
