Rishi Sunak’s entrance is surely the most hilariously bizarre photo op you’ll see (wait for it!)
We’ve seen a few weird photo opportunities in our time (including the occasion we accidentally shook the same person’s hand twice, an embarrassment we’re still trying to get over).
But we’ve never, ever seen one quite so weird as this one, Rishi Sunak and Salisbury mayor Atiqul Hoque, now expelled from the Conservative Party for allegedly antisemitic remarks.
Maybe Sunak saw this coming, or maybe he was just super excited to meet someone smaller than him. But either way, watch this (from October last year).
Did someone just throw Sunak into this photo op? pic.twitter.com/oIwJYpwFxu

Answers on a postcard, please.

Was this the winner of a ‘meet the PM’ prize at a local Conservative club raffle?

This is just odd behavour from the PM, even if he was in a rush…

Ha. Funny. Not seen that before. My understanding was Atiqul was so late for his meeting with Sunak that the scheduled sit down couldn't happen at all but the PM said he could still give him a drive-by photo and it was almost drive-through-and-over from that video!!

And spare a thought for the other guy!
my apologies to John Glen, who clearly didn't ask for any of this, but I just cannot stop watching this video, he looks like an animatronic having a panic attack https://t.co/7pnjHWcLAK

To conclude …
Just out of interest really, is there anything he's good at? https://t.co/260k9KElrn
