Watch the sublimely awkward moment this GB News presenter realises their poll went against Brexit
Over on the Twitter account of GB News, where newsreaders’ careers go to die, they’ve conducted a poll on people’s opinions of Brexit. It didn’t turn out like they might have expected.
When it was time to deliver the results, former Brexit Party MEP and general election loser, Martin Daubney had a little trouble – both understanding what he was reading and saying it out loud.
It’s a very funny watch.

Awkward.
His clear discomfort was very entertaining to tweeters, who left a lot of comments like these.
Beautiful. Martin Daubney physically unable to form the words required to break it to the viewers of GB News that their own poll shows that 55% would now vote against Brexit 👌😂

Video journalist Matt Capon did the only reasonable thing.
I've tweaked the GB News clip from earlier today – when Martin Daubney had mistakenly assumed the Brexit poll would fall in favour of leave rather than 55% supporting remain. pic.twitter.com/5PiZuDFA2i

Here’s the moment Daubney actually managed to spit out the words.
the follow up is about as awkward as you expect it to be #gbeebies pic.twitter.com/rXiFFOGWFA

There’s a Reddit forum for that.
You lost, Mr Daubney. Get over it.
