Boris Johnson has just been owned by the whole of Yorkshire and it’s glorious

It was worth the trouble of Boris Johnson becoming prime minister just so we could see this.

Johnson went on a walkabout to meet the good people of Yorkshire after that unfortunate police force photocall in Wakefield earlier in the day.

And it was not going too well when this happened.

"You should be in Brussels negotiating!"

But it went really badly when he met this chap, the best 3 seconds of TV you’ll see this week.

It’s the smile on his face as he does it. And the pat. Just glorious.

Yorkshire legendary gentility and politeness
When the PM arrived in Wakefield, they were singing “where’s your brother gone. Where’s your brother gone?” https://t.co/JzTqKzD13Z

This is so revealing. He really cannot believe someone has the audacity to call him out. His body language: he turns away from the man who is saying he hasn't been negotiating. He won't engage. Can't be bothered to even persuade as he desparately looks round for some followers.

Quite possibly the first time that he’s ever met a normal person.
