This Tory MP’s Covid ‘gotcha’ was a spectacular self-own and it’s a supremely satisfying watch

You surely won’t see a more entertaining or satisfying exchange between two politicians this week.

On the left is Conservative MP Jake Berry and on the right is SNP MP John Nicolson, debating the importance of politicians leading by example during the pandemic.

Berry appears to think he had Nicolson on the ropes, only to be flawed by an almighty uppercut. Delivered by Berry himself.

Somebody throw in the towel!

Set himself right up for that one.

He’ll still be sat there now with that gormless expression on his face! Perfect

I’ll bring the sound effects for next time.

To conclude …

I don't think this is quite the response Conservative MP Jake Berry had hoped for. https://t.co/AXuxJwA4Ov
