A Tory MP’s blurry resignation letter was mocked into next year – 27 funniest gags
We have to confess we hadn’t come across Conservative MP Dr Andrew Murrison before.
Fortunately there are only two things you need to know for the purposes of this story. One – the Tory MP for South Wiltshire has resigned from his role as a trade envoy in Boris Johnson’s government.
And two – he shared his letter of resignation on Twitter like this.

And we’re glad he did because in a long (very possibly never-ending) week, it prompted a wave of very funny responses. Here are our 27 – yes, seriously – favourites.

Hi Andrew, thanks for this. Would you mind not dipping the phone in wax before tweeting a photo of a printed document? No worries if not.
Thanks so much. https://t.co/DlQqfwxcuO

Sorry Andrew, can’t quite read the signature there, so your resignation has not been accepted

I think he’s resigned but I can’t quite read it. Makes me quite like him tbh. I often suffer from similar lens issues, as my daughters never tire of pointing out. https://t.co/mfkPVXQC7S
