Charlie Stayt mocking this minister’s ‘bit small’ flag is today’s best thing
Local government secretary Robert Jenrick was on BBC Breakfast today – stick with us, please – and it ended in the most fabulous manner possible.
Presenter Charlie Stayt wrapped up their chat by pointing out that the Union Jack in the background – de rigueur these days for anyone in the government, appearing anywhere – was a little bit on the small side.

We’re not sure if we prefer co-presenter Naga Munchetty’s laugh or Jenrick’s stunned silence. Probably equal first.
And our favourite things people said about it.
Give Charlie Stayt a Television Journalism Award for this beautiful moment with Robert Jenrick 🇬🇧 @TVNaga01 held it together… just.

Suitability mocking I thought. The minister was not amused 🤣

Narrator: “Shortly after this interview, BBC Breakfast presenter Charlie Stayt disappeared in mysterious circumstances. He was never seen or heard from again.
