Kwasi Kwarteng at the Queen’s funeral.

If it was jiggery pokery fake news , I’m sure he would have led the outrage.
JaneJudge, I may be wrong but I can’t image your fidgeting being in the same category
Maddyone, miss A posted a link Or you could ask google - or ignore it of course
The silence from the government and opposition is odd

He is a supporter of some ADHD charities.
Perhaps he is a sufferer and over/under dosed his medication?

MissA post the clip maddyone on page 2

I can’t comment on any other behaviour as I haven’t seen the clip.

I haven’t seen said clip, but I would have thought that all members of the congregation would have been advised to turn off, or put on silent their mobile phones. I didn’t take my mobile to my mother’s recent funeral, and I’d have thought a great many of the congregation at the queen’s funeral would have done the same.

I've got to be honest, I've most probably fidgeted at funerals or acted inappropriately, so thank goodness I didn't attend the Queen's funeral and wasfree to drink gin at home

I doubt it's a fake as Suella glances at him when he's talking/laughing. In addition, if it was a fake, wouldn't he respond with righteous indignation?

I hope for all our sakes that it's a fake!

?

Probably not but the lack of information generally is curious.

The comment about Coffey doing a tommy cooper impression was very funny

I hope for all our sakes that it's a fake!

Ps I'm not saying that's the case, just saying it was a possibility which crossed my mind.

Fair point, Callistemon21. I hadn't thought of that, and I always believe I'm alert to fake news.

The older I get the more cynical I become Ailidh!

The clip I saw had him appearing to talk and laugh to himself. I have no axe to grind with Mr K but the clips I saw showed behaviour I thought odd at such an important national occasion, and in a place of worship

Did anyone see this on television?

Do you think this is computer trickery going round on social media?
As this hasn't appeared in mainstream media and the Opposition hasn't mentioned it?

Wiping his eyes I can understand.

I expect it's "stress" that will be trotted out.

He's only been in the job for a few days!

Oh my word, we really don’t need another chancellor off his head on coke. Osborne did enough damage. I’m hoping there’s another explanation but it really is odd behaviour.

I’ve had a quick look. Google brings up several news reports on his behaviour at the Queen’s funeral. All critical.
There has been nothing in the past 24 hours that I could find. No statement from Mr Kwateng or the Conservative Party.
Very unusual.

Iam64 ? I’m ‘away’ too! I hope that you are having a nice time

The clip I first viewed was on The Independent online front page yesterday.

It really is strange that none of the print or news media is even acknowledging this.
That’s a point FannyC, but what grounds would lead to an injunction?
We are living in interesting times for sure
The opposition are silent
I’m away (lucky me) but I’m off to check John Crace

The media silence is very odd.
Has James OBrien alluded to it?
If not, then it really is strange.
I listened to some of his recent shows and haven’t heard owt.
Could there be an injunction or something?

Iam64 there seems to be blanket silence on main stream media which is, in itself, very telling. This has been running on Twitter since the day of the funeral!

I’ve just skimmed the DM on line. No reference to this

He seems perfectly able to deal with a public role in interviews I've watched.

I expect it's "stress" that will be trotted out.

I wonder what the royal family make of it?

I'd be very, very offended if it was my mother or grandmother.

He is completely off his head- à la Gove. Very worrying.
