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.
I only just noticed one of the other guys has a mother fucking ventriloquist dummy with him. It seems almost impossible that would be the second thing you'd notice in a photo.
One of those traditions that won't die. You wear them when campaigning to let people know what party you're for, and on the results podium so viewers know who's face you need to read to get the result
Each is in the colours of the party and each has to pick a colour that's different. I hated them
