So Rory Stewart tweeted an April Fool and the BBC fell for it.

I liked him already but he has gone up so much in my estimation now!

Best one I saw, I agree.

I'm only sorry it's not true. We could do with a decent grown up in the government!

GameofPhones · 02/04/2022 08:02

So much for the BBC's supposedly renowned fact-checking.

I hate the tories but always liked him. Plus he isn't a tory now. Why can't we have principled people in government who want to do good it's annoying the sensible ones get forced out.

Excellent. He’s such a good egg isn’t he. Why was he a Tory? Imagine if the party had voted for him, what a world we’d live in now.

I think this every bloody week. The best prime minister we never had.

How funny that the BBC are refusing to comment. Nobody would think badly of them saying "yeah, he got us!"

EnjoyingTheSilence · 02/04/2022 08:16

Wish he’d have won the leadership race. Much better than the twat we’ve got

I thought this said ROD Stewart!

It was really well written. I read it on twitter and thought wtaf and didn't clock it was April Fool's day.

I think he got a bit of stick initially about lack of integrity. Hopefully those people soon realised what was going on.

It was brilliantly done, I did have a moment of 'Wftf whyyy' myself before I realised what day it was 😂

It was so obviously unexpected though, they really should have checked thoroughly.
