Less than a year after claiming to use his psychic powers to break pipes in the Palace of Westminster in order to prevent Brexit, spoon-bender extraordinaire, Uri Geller announced he had directly influenced the general election.

Met with #borisjohnson's team, gave @BorisJohnson a spoon which belonged to Golda Meir. I energised this spoon with #PositiveEnergy as part of my strategy with the #mindpower of the #UK public to ensure that #JeremyCorbyn did NOT end up as #primeminister! https://t.co/zK252H9RhO — Uri Geller (@TheUriGeller) December 16, 2019

At least the political post mortems can stop, now we know what caused the Tory landslide. Obviously, it was far too much of an open goal for Twitter to ignore.

Is he actually ever able to hold a spoon without it bending and breaking? Is that his tragedy, like King Midas but with soup? https://t.co/qghnyqadQI — Simon Blackwell (@simonblackwell) December 16, 2019

Is this guy for real? You'd think that someone with his alleged psychic powers would put them to good use. You know, like ending poverty, disease and war. https://t.co/Zgp3PInnjB — Buddy Hell (@buddy_hell) December 16, 2019

All i got from this tweet was Uri Geller is spooning Boris Johnson. — Nollaig l🇮🇪 (@Nolliag66) December 16, 2019

The term “spoon nonce” trended for hours, with a lot of things like this making their way onto the timeline.

But the most telling comment of all came from someone called @graemenexus.

Sadly, this is the most plausible explanation for Johnson's victory that I've read so far. — Graeme B (@graemenexus) 16 December 2019

Boris Johnson should make the spoon his deputy.
