It’s been an election campaign full of memorable moments, most of which Rishi Sunak would rather forget.

But here is one particular tale that we can surely all enjoy regardless of your politics. It’s a guy who told Labour MP Karl Turner that he wouldn’t be voting for him because of his party’s plans to ‘tax condoms’.

And it turns out – as you might already have suspected by now – that he didn’t have it quite right.

And just in case that’s tricky to read in full …

It’s the ‘Margaret!’ bit at the end that makes it.

And you can read the full story by the Guardian’s chief reporter, Daniel Boffey, here!
