Over on Twitter Laurence Fox took some time out from his busy schedule to make a joke about the text many people have been receiving advising them to get a Covid booster.
The automated ‘Get Boosted Now’ text was sent by the government to millions of people nationwide encouraging them to get the jab.

Why won’t you respond to my cry for help, Mr booster man??? pic.twitter.com/BZM59AX2Ul
