While Rishi Sunak’s D-Day blunder and Gamblegate score the highest on More in Common’s ‘Gaffe-O-Meter’, Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer, on course for the biggest majority of any party since 1832, and Liberal Democrats leader Sir Ed Davey have also provoked laughter and engaged in wild activities.

00:00Now is the moment for Britain to choose its future, to decide whether we want to build on the progress we have made or risk going back to square one with no plan and no certainty.
00:12Earlier today I spoke with His Majesty the King to request the dissolution of Parliament.
00:17The King has granted this request and we will have a general election on the 4th of July.
00:23This election will take place at a time when the world is more dangerous than it has been since the end of the Cold War.
00:29Putin's Russia is waging a brutal war in Ukraine and will not stop there if he succeeds.
00:34Are you looking forward to all the football?
00:37Not so much my bag.
00:39Get people in, get people in.
00:42No, but that's because you guys aren't in it.
00:44Get people out, you know, there'll be people coming, it'll be a good summer of football.
00:49Well, while he's hoping voters will flock to polling stations in his favour on July the 4th,
00:56he's not had, apparently, looking at these images, the same appeal.
01:01Down on the farm where he's been in Devon this afternoon, he's been wooing farmers,
01:07but the sheep don't seem that interested as he was trying to feed them.
01:13When I grew up, my dad was a toolmaker, he worked in a factory.
01:17It's true, my mum was a nurse and actually we couldn't make ends meet,
01:21which actually isn't a laughing matter, we couldn't make ends meet.
01:33...been monitoring that, the Labour event is already kicking off, but Starmer's not on stage.
01:37Here goes David, double the stuff, wow, the extra weight makes it really...
01:41See, with his lacklustre ass, that looks fun.
01:45I'm just going to pause you there, because believe it or not, that's Ed Davey, Paddy.
01:50I'm not going to get you to...
01:51Yeah, well he's got the handbrake off, hasn't he?
01:53Yeah, well he's certainly going for it, I mean, kind of showing what Gareth Southgate should do,
01:58which is be a bit bold and a bit brave, maybe not jump off a ledge,
02:02although he might have felt like it at the 94th minute last night.
