lowtax speedrun enjoyer: jacob rees-mogg has to lose while standing next to a guy wearing a baked beans-themed balaclava

jacob rees-mogg has to lose while standing next to a guy wearing a baked beans-themed balaclava

Is it because he’s toast?

Lmao 🤣

… I retract the question about why a baked beans balaclava that is in fact the perfect balaclava and I simply was not wise enough to see it.

10/10. No notes.

*applauds*

nice one

I feel sorry for baked beans dude, honestly. Fancy having to stand next to Rees-Mogg?

I would be not surprised at all if standing next to a losing Reese-Mogg for that photo was the whole reason baked bean man paid the deposit.

Legend

an absolute king

This is also very good

There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

The tweet is about the tall guy but I think the ventriloquist is the real star

He appears to have gotten a second ribbon for his dummy!

He’s got at least three ribbons!

Which one is the ventriloquist’s dummy and which one is Sunak?

The less wooden-looking one is the dummy. Also marginally taller.

Let's not forget Count Binface as well

Government elections have become a forum for attention getters. The Tokyo Gubernatorial election is coming up in a few days and there are some wacky candidates, or rather, characters: youtu.be/DWfmOdzRuFo?... (via @mrjeffu.bsky.social)

Hmmm I can see how that would be used to undermine the democratic process. But god it sure is satisfying this time

This has been a bit of a problem in Japan, especially when popular YouTubers get elected! and then get arrested for misdemeanors. www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/03...

You can also see Count Binface just in the edge of the image.

The ventriloquist with dummy is a nice touch.

nerd is still wearing a double breasted three btn suit from like 1986

dressing in something from after WWII is his concession to modernity

He has the weirdest tailoring preferences. All his suits look like they belonged to his father and don’t really fit. Which to be fair, could refer to his opinions as well.

they don't fit. at all. they look like some off the rack bullshit. it's 2024. you can have a bespoke suit made for $500. there's no reason to look like this unless its a statement.

i thought this said three bean suit and

As @pwnallthethings.bsky.social said, the baked beans guy is not the unserious joke on that stage.

That poor child 😢 🤣

I’m sure his ska band will be very impressed with the duds.

Have you ever seen his clock? It has his name at the 3,6,9 &12 positions. brb, gonna go look for a pic

He has that stupid school tie on in every pic as if we don't know he went to oxford w/o it.

It’s MOGG time, baby!

He’s nowhere near as cool as a nerd

He’s dressed down from his normal Victorian attire.

I’m sorry… What?!?

the uk baby

We believe in stripping our politicians of dignity whenever possible. It's good for them.

Oh. Today Rishi Sunak will have to do the walk of shame down Downing Street. That's always fun.

So in the US, when a new President is elected, they move all their stuff into the White House. In the UK, when PMs can last just hours or days, do they bother moving furniture in, or is No. 10 just like a really nice extended stay hotel?

It's not that nice

There are moving vans. I suspect a lot of the furniture stays where it is though.

Please keep it up, you're all doing a wonderful job

i like that they have to wear the little ribbons
