It was worth the trouble of Boris Johnson becoming prime minister just so we could see this.

Johnson went on a walkabout to meet the good people of Yorkshire after that unfortunate police force photocall in Wakefield earlier in the day.

And it was not going too well when this happened.

But it went really badly when he met this chap, the best 3 seconds of TV you’ll see this week.

“Please leave my town.”

Yorkshire legendary gentility and politeness

When the PM arrived in Wakefield, they were singing “where’s your brother gone. Where’s your brother gone?” https://t.co/JzTqKzD13Z — Jon Trickett (@jon_trickett) September 5, 2019

This is so revealing. He really cannot believe someone has the audacity to call him out. His body language: he turns away from the man who is saying he hasn't been negotiating. He won't engage. Can't be bothered to even persuade as he desparately looks round for some followers. — Jessica12Turbocharge #RevokeA50 (@Jessica12uk) September 5, 2019

Go Wakefield!!! Who is that man?! https://t.co/F2RnIm5Hgd — Fionna O'Leary, Rees Mogg Can Call me Sir #FBPE (@fascinatorfun) September 5, 2019

Quite possibly the first time that he’s ever met a normal person. — angela sandy ambrose (@sandyangela) September 5, 2019
