Which politicians would you give a purely metaphorical slap?

Very much in the same spirit as the celebrity thread - not endorsing violence, not real slaps, just a harmless fantasy expression of frustration.

Sometimes a politician’s smugness, hypocrisy or sheer audacity just inspires a “really???” reaction.

Purely metaphorical, no consequences, no legal issues - who makes your list and why?

Mine would be:

  • Boris Johnson - perpetual chaos with a grin
  • Nigel Farage - thrives on division, never accountability
  • Matt Hancock - rules for thee, not for me
  • Donald Trump - self-explanatory
  • Liz Truss - tanked the economy and still seems baffled

AIBU to think some political energy is… slap-adjacent?

(Any era, any country - bonus points for creativity rather than anger.)

Any MP for North East Somerset (the constituency where i live) irrespective of political party. First we had Jacob Rees Mogg , MP for the victorian age. Then we had Dan Norris who was arrested for rape.

Tony Blair - The start of the decline, loves the sound of his own voice and even now is power mad he can't keep out of the public gaze. Just an awful person and very slimy
