To think Kwasi is unhinged / on drugs?!

[SafferUpNorth]

So, following on from several threads discussing today's bizarre budget, I went and googled to find some footage of him at the Queen's funeral which someone had mentioned.

If you've not seen it, take a look. WTF?!

Is this man unhinged, on drugs or just plain disrespectful? Any of these might also explain today's budget.....

My tired brain thought this was about an Octonauts character.

Bit disappointed it isn't.

My guess is he has ADHD. I'll criticise him for his terrible politics, but not that if so.

You don’t think that we would know already if it was ADHD? He manages to sit in the HoC without all this. Pretty sure we would be being told how awesome he is to have overcome it if he has any sort of condition.

Drugs

[Justkidding55]

If you watch the full length one he was rocking, jittery, laughing, grimacing.. I showed my ex druggie ex boyfriend who doesn’t know who he is for toffee and he said immediately he’s off his tits on something

@LittleBrownRug err I'll write what I want (within reason of course) on an open forum. Hope thats ok with you

😁

I thought possibly adhd from the news link but bloody hell, that twitter link 😮

That's drugs.

[miserablecat]

I think I'd have more confidence in kwazi from octonauts to be fair...

[Runningintolife]

Clearly drugs

[QueueEtwo]

Today he's sold the UK down the river & not one single main news channel has shared that footage!

We are absolutely fucked!

@ChocChipOwl

The fidgeting, looking around, jittering and movements indicate something but I'm not sure what. I'd say ADHD. He reminds me of a 5 year old on a school assembly

Then he needs medication clearly 🙄

Just like my son except he is still undiagnosed after eight years this years excuse is "covid"

We would be better off with the fucking octonaughts

[Lonelycrab]

Another picture I just saw on Twitter, must be pretty recent judging by the line up.

And who’s that at the back grinning his tits off?🤔

[Laiste]

I think Boris (directly in front) was texting him.

Carrie looks really uncomfortable.

[Chattycathydoll]

I know people with ADHD, Tourettes, and who have used drugs.

This man was off his tits. Those are very specific movements. That type of grinning/jerking movement is only to familiar.

[LizzieSiddal]

I think Boris (directly in front) was texting him.

Which clip did you see that? I can’t see Johnson in any of them.

[Handsnotwands]

This is an interesting article that came out before the funeral footage

[LadyEloise1]

There's a pay wall thingy on that article.

[Discovereads]

There’s something about Eton that churns out the worst in toxic arrogance.

[ivykaty44]

This budget is all about making the pound weak, so those that purchased dollars can now buy back £ at a profit, along with a lot of other measures to make those in power richer

@walkingonsunshinekat

The Tories are totally in hock to Putin and are doing his bidding to destroy the country.

Eh?

[nonono1]

Clearly absolutely clueless and devoid of morals too. Typical Tory I suppose. It’s disgusting that the richest in our country will be around 10 grand a year better off as a result of this disgraceful “mini budget”. It makes me weep.

[Notlosinganyweight]

I watched the silence one and didn't think it was too bad, but thd twitter clip 😯. Yes on drugs I think.

BUT is it hardly surprising given the amount of drugs in parliament:

[nonono1]

As I said on the other thread, I actually want Boris back. Because these two (Truss and Kwarteng) are another level of dreadfulness.

[NashvilleQueen]

A million years ago I used to know him. There's not a chance he's on drugs. He's pompous and dull and socially awkward but he's not a drug user.

[Luxurysleuth007]

There’s something definitely ‘off’ with him when you see the footage at the Queens funeral. Certainly not the type of character you would want to be in charge of pulling the purse strings, clearly a view shared by the global markets this afternoon.
