As you might already have seen Rishi Sunak’s faltering election campaign – so far just the wrong side of humiliating – showed no signs of getting any better after he was magnificently owned by the Lib Dems today.

The moment went just as wildly viral as you’d expect with lots of comments like this.
Any day now, I expect Sunak to develop a nervous tick whenever his team suggest going out for another photo op. https://t.co/qPpSMLSksD

The PM at the time of writing tried to put a brave face on it by doing this.
Classic Lib Dems, always selling voters down the river. https://t.co/HJ0a9neJzb

And we’re very glad he did because it gave Lib Dems’ deputy leader (and MP for St Albans) Daisy Cooper – among those on the boat at the time – the opportunity to respond like this.
Sorry Rishi, didn’t mean to *rain* on your parade… we were just there talking to river users about sewage https://t.co/cNVSxwzwOR

Boom!
Rishi Sunak just can’t stop the boats. Any boats.
