Birthday celebration for PM sparks new party row

I have gathered a selection of commentary from Twitter, because that is what Twitter is for. And at this point the whole thing is just a farce. :)

My son couldn't have a primary school leaving party with his bubble of classmates, Nadine, and he's literally a child. He was bummed out, but stoic because he saw it as for the greater good. Literally a child.

PUTIN: Poisoned frosting?
KO: No, really just a regular cake.
PUTIN: I don’t get it.

Led by Donkeys have a whole sketch, it's rather neatly edited!

ETA:

If Rishi's meteoric rise gets done in because he had a slice of Colin the Caterpillar I will laugh my arse off.

I am particularly entertained by the idea that Sunak "accidentally" attended the party. And then kept quiet about it for nearly two years.

What has this country become?

Alas, I fear you are right...

I don't think Doris has ever been ambushed by a cake in his life. He knew that cake was coming.

[elisi]

Ahahahahaha. :D

(Sorry about the late response!)

[sea_thoughts]

Glad it made you laugh!

[elisi]

It was appreciated. :)
