The UK this year has felt like a conveyer belt of WTF news stories. We've had three Prime Ministers, four Chancellors (within four months), and two monarchs in one ridiculous year.
So, let's remind ourselves of some of the chaos that we've witnessed in the UK this year.
1. Let's begin with the new Education Minister giving the finger to protestors...
Still can’t get over newly appointed Education Minister Andrea Jenkyns giving the finger to protestors as she walked into Downing Street on Thursday.
2. Then there was this unbelievably brazen speech by Rishi Sunak in Tunbridge Wells.
This should be the end of his leadership campaign. I can’t believe he said it out loud in the age of smartphones
3. And who can forget this frankly ridiculous interview Suella Braverman gave?
The essential Suella Braverman interview. Watch and weep
4. We recently had Jeremy Clarkson's vile rant about Megan Markle that made its way into the tabloids.
I am absolutely horrified by this comment about Meghan Markle by Jeremy Clarkson. The hatred. The obsession. The mention of her naked. This proves everything M&H are saying. Absolutely jaw-dropping, terrifying misogyny & abuse here from Clarkson. https://t.co/UNLrhn1TqH
5. Somehow we had a survival battle between a sitting Prime Minister and an iceberg lettuce. (Spoiler: the lettuce won).
Unbelievable, the Daily Star have a live feed, seeing whether Truss will outlive a lettuce.
6. We then had over-seer of a failed Covid response that lead to thousands of deaths, Matt Hancock, going on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
"Matt Hancock isn't a 'celebrity', he's the former health secretary who oversaw the UK having one of the highest death tolls in the world... whilst breaking his own lockdown rules" Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice group react to I'm a Celeb decision https://t.co/GrQKjC7hXe
7. Then of course there was This Morning going full dystopia.
'This Morning' in the UK offering a competition prize of paying for energy bills. If that wasn't dystopian enough, the music in the background is...
8. While this video didn't occur in 2022, it did resurface during our current Prime Minister's campaign.
Rishi Sunak: “I have friends who are aristocrats. I have friends who are upper class. I have friends who are working-class... well, not working-class..." Man of the people.
9. We had Justice Secretary Dominic Raab accused of throwing tomatoes at his staff.

10. Then of course there was Suella Braverman's short journey to a migrant camp, arriving on a £3,500-an-hour military helicopter.
Suella Braverman arrived at Manston migrant camp today by Chinook after visiting Dover.
11. We had Jeremy Corbyn killing Margaret Thatcher on a version of the old video game Doom and, honestly, who can blame him?

12. A peek into our bizarre future showed a robot shutting down whilst being questioned in the House of Lords.

13. Back to ridiculous interviews, here's Nadine Dorries'.

14. We also had Jacob Rees-Mogg claiming a doomed Boris Johnson would stay in office for over 21 years.

15. We recently had this anti-strike, rat-obsessed tirade about the striking Royal Mail workers.
Mike slams striking postmen after packages were left exposed to rats at a Bristol depot: "What if your child opens a present and there is a rat staring back at you?" @iromg
16. Not only did Matt Hancock go on a reality TV show, but he also wrote an unnecessary and self-indulgent book about being in charge of the pandemic response.
I really cannot stress enough how bizarre, insulting and immature Matt Hancock's "Pandemic Diaries" really are. They are written as though a teenager was set a school project to write "A day in the life of the health secretary" and got carried away https://t.co/9u6rAeQZvT
17. Back to Mogg – the MP who, in November, called abortion a "cult of death," publically stating his opposition to it in ANY case. Oh, and BTW, he's in the past admitted that his investment firm profited from pills used in abortions.
This man is obnoxious. Jacob Rees-Mogg who recently shouted his stance against abortion in cases resulting from rape. (We all saw how those laws turned out in Ireland pre 2018) has admitted that his investment firm profits from pills used in abortions.https://t.co/ZaMMeYNx7W
18. We had MP Vicky Ford talking nonsense and then being outed instantly.
Ha. @vickyford instantly debunked in her nonsense. 🤣 @MattChorley @mrjamesob @Haggis_UK
19. Ah yes, then there was Centre Parcs saying they would kick out all their guests during the Queen's funeral, out of respect.
Out of respect for her majesty please fuck off
20. How about someone holding up a blank piece of paper and being told they would be arrested if they were going to write "Not My King" on it?
@GoGoGoings
21. Finally, we had a member of parliament resign for watching porn in the House of Commons. Twice.
Porn-watching MP Neil Parish formally resigns https://t.co/wDC1GfJjiP
