This man defending Rosie Holt’s fictional Tory MP just made the whole thing even better

Poke Staff. Updated January 19th, 2022

You will probably already have seen Rosie Holt’s fabulous spoof of a ‘Tory MP’ who doesn’t know whether she attended the Downing Street party or not.

The video went wildly viral and it fooled no end of people including philosopher Anthony Grayling (“If you think you’ve heard politicians being politicians, you haven’t – until you hear this bald-faced emetic”), author Philip Pullman (“aghast”).

It also confused former UKIP leader Henry Bolton, who said this.

But very possibly better than all of these people is this response, which has just gone viral after it was shared by Rosie herself because it’s just so good.

Fabulous.

I can handle people freaking out because they don't get the joke but people legit agreeing with your characters is too much. I might need to lie down and contemplate the worth of human existence.
