When Boris Johnson was ambushed with a cake, was it a drive-by choux-ting? pic.twitter.com/K8wEjmn7rt

Wow!!! Just wow! So I suppose one arrested for driving under the influence can explain of being ambushed with a drink now? This is pure "my clothes fell off" territory. https://t.co/Xd2ZbFioge

If I'd not seen it in films so much the "ambushed by a cake" thing would be ridiculous. pic.twitter.com/VQXZkxISqw

As any historian can tell you, the Battle of Cannae was a decisive victory in which the Romans were destroyed in a pincer movement between crème brûlée and a Victoria sponge https://t.co/XcGRQxjSDw

Kudos to @cathynewman for keeping a straight face. Amazing.

“I would like to state categorically that even though I managed to bravely fend off a meringue in the pantry, I was – sadly – ambushed by a cake in the dining room. My wife has already apologised for her indiscretion and I now consider the matter closed…” #C4News #PartyGate pic.twitter.com/E8ESGNaWxv

It seems that in those days people were regularly ambushed by cake, pies and, on occasion, peacocks. pic.twitter.com/N2KJmWoxfx— Dame VictoriaG Esq (MPhil (failed)) (@ancientnmodern) January 25, 2022

There is, as yet, no confirmation that Sue Gray or the Met have interviewed the cake which ambushed the Prime Minister. Here’s hoping we get answers in the morning.
