We feel like 2021 has really started, now that the brutally funny Larry and Paul have produced their first daily briefing parody.

BREAKING NEWS: The first UK Government #RealDailyBriefing of 2021 is here. In it, the minister gets serious about #lockdown rules, updates you about the #vaccine rollout and defends the Government on #FreeSchoolMeals.#DailyCOVIDUpdate #DailyBriefing pic.twitter.com/lhpRRlxHu5

“Travelling five miles to go for a walk is totally unacceptable.

Travelling seven miles to go for a bike ride is perfectly fine.”

We should have watched that instead of the one Priti Patel held on Tuesday. We learnt just as much, but this one was intentionally funny.

Here are a few reactions to the brilliant sketch.

So funny…..So clever….. So true 😞 😂 https://t.co/RcXkfhioSD

John Di Domenico, the best Donald Trump parody, had these deservedly kind words.

He’s not wrong. If you don’t already follow them, do yourself a favour and put that right.
