lol - terrible acting. walks round the corner with the cameras ready and then forgets to hold hands after 🤣😂
Lights, camera, action - just curious, how many takes did it take to get this shot?

[markbeards]

I thought he would be heading to the airport with big suitcases of embezzled PPE money.

The polling station looks like a public toilet 😂

[ryanhowe]

[JASuperflex]

[timporter]

He's got f**k all to smile about .

[aleccap]

[ThePacman]

The wife’s in red to celebrate her vote for labour

[aflalahmed]

Modi number 2. His last few weeks as pm. Racism is a religion itself.

[zaedenuk]

This is not a uk airport with a jet waiting to take them to america.. ohh, wait. That's tomorrow morning for him 😂

[LoveLove-bcnp]

Where is their passport or driving license? Inside their pocket?

[MrTopComment]

That was quick....Must have forgotten to bring his I.D

[BellBeakerBloke]

Why can his wife vote? It’s a disgrace. She wasn’t even born here of have ancestors here

[fmqhsnf]

The addams family..hope he voted for reform...bye bye the sunaks..got a bags packed yet...😂😂😂😂😂

[jllewellyn]

He left D day early so he probably won’t stick around 😅 Reform 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

[Jon-xwom]

I hope he retains his seat. But with a much reduced (double figure) majority only. Then if he really wants to leave the country, like most people think, he'll have to resign his seat to do it.

[facehugger]

I'don't bother voting usually because I'm british working class and have no party to represent me . Now its different and I've already voted for Reform .
