We asked you to caption a photo of Boris Johnson holding a chicken – our 19 favourites

During his first official visit to Wales as PM, Boris Johnson spent some time at a chicken farm in St Brides Wentlooge, where he had a photo-op with one of the condemned a chicken. We can only assume he was egged on, but he didn’t seem to get in a flap about it. Moving swiftly onwards, we thought it might make a good caption prompt, so we asked very nicely.

“I wish to complain about this Prime Minister I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.”

“Oh yes, the Tory Blue. What's wrong with it?”

“I'll tell you what's wrong with it. He's brain dead, that's what's wrong with it!”
