Robert Jenrick asked his Reform rally audience to stand up if they work, and it backfired spectacularly – 21 funniest takes

I love that 80% of them are still sat down until he mentions pensions https://t.co/ehku4iNtDs

He could have said " If you are not Robert Jenrick, stand up"
Then he would have half of the audience standing up while 25% adjusting their hearing aids and 25% fast asleep. https://t.co/59MeeSWau4

Asking the audience to stand up when most of them definitely have arthritis is a bit cruel https://t.co/3lnXPqaRvv

Jenrick with the gravitas of a melon and the ideas of a panda.

That’s bleakly funny. Very few stand up but their numbers are eventually supplemented when he comes on to recipients of the state pension – which is, I need hardly state, a welfare benefit. Reform is not a party of strivers & wealth creators. https://t.co/XXZVZRqoG4

I'm afraid this is very David Brent; and considering it's an audience that Reform put together, very poorly planned. https://t.co/D6o56KbNHk

“Keep standing if you think an extra £500 would help you out” as if anyone in the entire country wouldn’t want that😭😭😭 https://t.co/ue9bFkCJNK

It’s 2pm on a Tuesday, Robert.
Probably should’ve scratched that one out in the green room. https://t.co/g4jz0e94XB
