Politics general election Rishi Sunak
Rishi Sunak unveiled another flipchart video, and Labour had the opportunity to do the funniest thing
After gifting the internet perfect photo-editing opportunities with his explainer videos, it’s quite remarkable that Rishi Sunak has completely failed to learn any kind of lesson.
For example, here’s how things worked out for him in February.

What’s the worst that could happen when offering the internet a blank page to play with, and all for some extremely low-hanging fruit?
Well, this could happen, for a start …

Perhaps worst of all, from the Tories’ point of view, is that this happened …

That was basically inevitable from the moment the PM’s video dropped. Yet another great decision from the Conservative comms team, who apparently want anyone but Rishi Sunak in Number 10.
The mockery was visible from space.

If he hadn’t been pro-Brexit, pro-Johnson, pro-deporting refugees to an unsafe country, pro-promoting jokes like Braverman & Jenrick, pro-Netanyahu, pro-30p Lee, pro-lying about everything from ‘trade deals’ to Starmer’s service as DPP, then you could almost feel sorry for him. https://t.co/G2oTlfqup6

It’s ok to do “they’ve got nothing to say” when they’ve got nothing to say, but when your opponent’s main priority is to find opportunities to tell people what their plan is it’s just *weird*. https://t.co/oYrj1s2Ziy

Considering he’s a “tech bro” his team haven’t figured out (despite that awful one in January) that any sort of white background can be photoshopped over.
It’s just open goal city at the moment from his team…. https://t.co/LhObI2ytu7

Genuinely, the fact this has happened over and over again because he cannot stop standing in front of blank things astounds me https://t.co/13wZzIjA0c

if the idiot Tories can't spot a massive trap like this a mile off, how on earth do they think they're competent to run the country for another five years? https://t.co/ByiC4HDTsX

Comedy writer Robin Flavell pointed out the wide open goal that Sunak had missed.
AND he didn’t make the obvious flip flop chart pun. Poor stuff.
