Funniest political moments from Britain in 2024 | ITV News

Politics is a serious business. But it can also be terribly funny, especially when politicians are in desperate-campaign-mode. There were three gaffe-guzzling elections in 2024; local, general and Conservative leadership. It was also the UK's first 'TikTok election' which maximised funny video content and meant we had plenty of cringe moments from candidates trying to appeal to 'the youth'. On top of that we had a bumper party conference season, which delivered one of the most unfortunate gaffes in speech giving history. So, whether it was Keir Starmer demanding sausages, Rishi Sunak standing in the rain or Ed Davey singing badly; 2024 surely provided a funny moment for everyone. Of course, it has been a tough year for many people too - including the 175 Conservative MPs who lost their seats in the party's worst ever election defeat - but the festive period is for reminiscing, so let's remember some of the funniest moments this year. Was it the funniest year in British political history?
