Politics general election Rishi Sunak
This woman’s glorious expressions while listening to Rishi Sunak spoke for a nation
Rishi Sunak‘s campaign rolls on, unfortunately for him – because every time he does anything, it seems to make him more of a laughing stock.
On Wednesday, he took a sleeper train to Cornwall instead of his customary private helicopter – but the everyman act fooled nobody.
Just a perfectly normal guy getting on his train, on an empty platform, with absolutely no one else lugging their bags or running to get on, like a perfectly normal, everyday kind of train. pic.twitter.com/LSYtLDcWKU

Absolutely furious that my advisors insisted I took the sleeper train to Cornwall instead of going by helicopter. The things I do to pretend I'm not an entitled prick. pic.twitter.com/skbwsn57lm

While he was in the South-East, he headed over to Exeter, where we saw the best facial reaction to any of his speeches so far.
Watch this wordless burn take place just behind him.

If a picture paints a thousand words, her face painted a million, and Rishi Sunak’s team were quick to move in to stop it painting any more.
Ok this is excellent

People were very much here for the shade she was throwing, if not the heavy-handed blocking tactics, and this is what they’ve been saying so far.

It's the slow pan to get her discreetly out of shot which got me!

Tbf, I'd have struggled to contain myself.
What does this bloke know about struggling?

Another day of Rishi Sunak unfortunate campaign moments
Just look at the woman's expressions at the left edge of the video

Even the bad optics of sending a man to block out a woman came with an extra helping of failure.
What I love most about this is how baby Ross Kemp with his face of fury isn't an improvement from the ops team, he looks even less like he wants to be listening to Rishi https://t.co/q8hBff03C9

And as a bonus …
Splendid work. And to the far right of the shot, just after Ross Kemp pockets his phone, a brief comedy cameo by serial constituent ignorer and dodgy website MP Simon Jupp, doing the most peculiar impersonation of how human beings do clapping. https://t.co/FVtBVY0IsO
