Nadhim Zahawi wore a ‘TL’ badge on TV and Twitter did the rest

'TL' actually stands for T-Levels, but Twitter had other ideas...

Nadhim Zahawi made the rookie mistake of sporting a badge displaying the letters ‘TL’ on his Sunday broadcast round – and was ruthlessly mocked for it online.

Speaking to Sky News, the education minister wore the badge on his lapel as he fielded questions from Sophy Ridge.

Quizzed about the badge earlier this year, Zahawi revealed it stands for T-Levels: new courses which follow GCSEs, offering students a mixture of classroom learning and “on-the-job” experience.

All of which is very commendable. But that didn’t stop folk on the internet coming up with other ideas about what the badge could stand for.

Here’s what some of Twitter’s brightest minds came up with.

Thanks ⁦@sophieraworth⁩ for getting him to wear his Tory liar badge, this morning pic.twitter.com/ASom7EpAeU

Nadhim Zahawi is wearing his Tory Liar badge but has forgotten his Ukraine badge.
How will we cope without badges telling us what to do?#SundayMorning

#SundayMorning At least they now wear Tory Liar badges to warn you. Meanwhile Sophie goes soft, doesn’t interrupt or hold him to account for the worst cost of living crisis in a lifetime. 😡 pic.twitter.com/iqoFHJbqDv

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.
