Entertainment Liberal Democrats Rishi Sunak
The Lib Dems trolling the Tories with a Peep Show/Rishi Sunak mash-up was simply not on our election campaign bingo card

Over on TikTok, the Lib Dems found a longer version and drew all our attentions to their account with this devastating overdub.

Whilst the silly moments exist a new generation of Social Media satirists get control of party’s official TikToks with some glorious content. https://t.co/zS3z9TxSAs
