🧵 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
Ah why not, it's been a weird year but here's some stuff I'm proud of:
