There was something a bit off about Lee Anderson’s GB News cab ride and it’s a fabulously funny fail
We’ve been watching GB News so you don’t have to – well, just a little bit, obviously – and this moment has just gone viral for reasons which will become obvious (but might take a view or two to spot).
It’s Conservative deputy chair and GB News regular Lee Anderson taking a cab ride in what appears to be a regular slot on his show (please, don’t ask us to watch it again).
And there was something slightly off about it and we can’t stop watching. See if you can spot it quicker than we did.

Got it yet?
Here are our favourite things people said about it.
How many takes did this require guys? As judging by the view out of the windows, Lee and Gary are in two entirely different places. https://t.co/2kP6MxkzzB

There is a Shallowfake video of Lee Anderson circulating where it has clearly been badly edited as the front and back of the taxi are in different places. This highlights the risks of so called "Shallowfakes" that we must remain alert to. https://t.co/0HppLJVvQj

It would appear that the driver and the passenger are in different parts of town https://t.co/oHqrsJGdJw

I like how the taxi driver is in the city while 30p in in the countryside https://t.co/W70FcQfBtR

The editing is like something out of Police Squad

There was always this possibility, of course.
Hey up @LeeAndersonMP_
Is this another fake interview ?
You are in the countryside and this bloke is in town?
