Satire was laid to rest in the House of Commons yesterday after Sir Charles Walker wielded a pint of milk in front of TV cameras in protest of coronavirus powers being extended.

The MP for Broxbourne took a stand in the chamber, pledging to “walk around London with a pint of milk” to represent his dissatisfaction at the renewed government measures.

Charles Walker – “That pint will remind me that the act of protest is a freedom & not a right… & if you don’t fight for freedoms they end up being taken away from you.” pic.twitter.com/6fdmtnF5eV

He said: “For the next few days I am going to walk around London with a pint of milk about my person.

“Some may do other things such as protesting anxiety or a loss of career.

“Maybe they will be protesting this country’s slide into authoritarianism, or perhaps they will be protesting the fact we allow unelected officials to have lecterns at Number 10 to tell us how to live our lives.

“The point is these people can project what they like – what concern they have – onto their pint of milk,” he added.

Shortly after, in front of the cameras, he wielded a pint of milk to express his point further.

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.
