If you’re currently looking at Unicorn Kingdom trending on Twitter and wondering if the UK government has hit rock bottom in the self-owning stakes, you’ll be glad to have an answer to your question in the shape of this video of Rishi Sunak travelling through London.
Is this really necessary?

We’re just disappointed they weren’t led by a mounted officer yelling “Make way for the First Lord of the Treasury.”
Tweeters took their palms from their faces long enough to share these reactions.

The ones at the back are jogging because Rishi offered to fill up their cars but didn't know how to use his bank card to pay. https://t.co/XDfmXqgBVv

Nothing says high status like being heralded by police on bicycles and their wheezing mates trying to keep up.pic.twitter.com/RL85BXg9c3

This is the stupidest and least intimidating thing I've ever seen. Why not put them on roller skates. https://t.co/nVjYi6zMwY

Definitely a lot safer being hemmed in by loads of fluorescent folk who can't move very fast, than just driving. https://t.co/tCxhnf4r7c

Rishi Sunak needs 200 Police escorts.
That is how unpopular he is. https://t.co/JYgN3z2GNo

Tory HQ:
So you know the world is laughing at us for being a fucking basket case. How can we turn our image around and show them we are in charge and we mean business?
Got it! https://t.co/tCxhnf4r7c

Didn't we all spend a day or too laughing at Kim Jong Un for this and it was like 6 guys? https://t.co/kx7P1FQZ1l

Why are police on bikes and running alongside Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's car?
In Holland, their PM cycles to work without the fanfare

Johnny Aneurysm was a little disappointed with the bystanders.
All those people and not one of them had the presence of mind to whip out their phone & play the Benny Hill theme?!
You're too jaded London. This is very disappointing. https://t.co/aHfNVZvhRh— Johnny Aneurysm (@Bincedmeef) April 24, 2023
Twitter stepped up.
