From lettuce to Dorries, here’s 2022 in five tweets

Recapping what has been an utterly bizarre year in British politics.

2022 is drawing to a close, capping off a year of quite remarkable developments in British politics.

We began the year with Boris Johnson clinging on to his premiership as Partygate scandals threatened to cut short his brief spell as prime minister.

By the end of the year we had seen three PMs, five education secretaries, a Brexit deal that is hanging in the balance and a massive black hole in the nation’s finances.

To recap it all, we’ve had a trawl through the social media archives to find the videos and moments that best sum everything up.

Here’s a run-down of what we got:

1. Nadine Dorries is bemused

Charlie Stayt: Have you spoken to the Prime Minister in the last 24-hours?

Nadine Dorries – Why are you asking me that question

Charlie Stayt: I'd like to know

Nadine Dorries: we've communicated

Charlie Stayt: I'm really confused, is that a difficult question?#BBCBreakfast pic.twitter.com/InMqfHytjS

2. Boris doesn’t know who Lorraine is

Susanna Reid – #lorraine is waiting

Boris Johnson – Who's Lorraine?

3. The Irish ‘Tea Sock’

I'm sorry, strongly encourage who? pic.twitter.com/NXdmNS2CiC

4. The Lettuce that outlasted a prime minister

British newspaper Daily Star put up a livestream of a lettuce to see if it would outlast Liz Truss as UK Prime Minister.

Today, the lettuce proved triumphant as Liz Truss became the shortest serving Prime Minister in history with just 45 days in office. pic.twitter.com/ELFcgDRbIY

5. The famous end credits

Here's the full clip of how Channel 4 News ended this evening. "I've got a blank space baby, and I'll write your name." pic.twitter.com/GDjzoZtmoX

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
