Kwasi Kwarteng at the Queen’s funeral.

No he definitely was not on the phone.

His behaviour was utterly bizarre.

Let’s not forget that he is our chancellor!!

I have just looked at the clip on front page of The Independent’s website.

He wipes his face, perhaps he was hot?

He swayed and looked around for a few seconds?

Sorry but I can’t stand the man.

I am not a fan either, but cannot see what the fuss is about.

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

Really!!!

And the laughing and giggling and swaying and general weird behaviour?

I have only seen the clip showing on The Independent’s website, it didn’t show him laughing or talking to himself only wiping his face and swaying.

I can only comment on what I have seen.

And talking to himself.

At least Gove only ever twitched in public???????

And talking to himself.

It wasn’t apparent in the short clip I viewed.

Was he talking to himself or praying?

My DH’s lips move when he prays, it really annoys me.

I am not defending him in any way shape or form, (would rather someone else was chancellor) just utterly tired of the constant gotcha journalism of the 21st Century.

In the clip I saw it 'looks like' he is laughing and talking. I assumed it was a phone call as he clearly has an ear piece in. Suella Braverman next to him looks distinctly uncomfortable and at one point turns slightly to look at him. His manner was at adds with all those around him.

Odds not adds

The clip I saw on Twitter was most bizarre. Check out the glare from Suella Braverman.

Looks like there are various clips, will have a look.

There are a couple things clips doing the rounds. I wondered if he felt ill.

The clips I've seen, his behaviour looks distinctly odd - but I'm with GG13 on Gotcha Journalism.

I dont think it originated as gotcha journalism did it? It was someone who uploaded it to Twitter and of course it took off.

I have just seen an other clip he looks uncomfortable and fidgety, who said it was during the 2 minute silence?

If you look at those around him they are also gazing around and are not in contemplative stance .

I would be interested to know who filmed this and then released it.

I've just looked at a couple of clips, taken at different angles.

Strange behaviour, lips moving, grinning and looking around. Immediately in front of him is Carrie Johnson and in front of her Sarah Brown I think - both looking solemn so not as though something endearing or affectionate has been said about the Queen. Suella Braverman gives him a sideways glance.

Then in the 2-minute silence everyone is standing still heads bowed, he's looking around and seems unable to stand still.

I too dislike clips taken out of context but based on everyone' else's demeanour he acted oddly.

From what I understand it was various people posting it online and obviously it then went viral.

He looked like he was struggling not to laugh. (And failing)

I would be interested to know who filmed this and then released it.

I imagine they are from the TV footage as from different angles

I read - but I stress I haven’t checked - it was actually during the two hour wait they had beforehand.

Even if it was while they were waiting for proceedings to commence (though that wasn’t what I have read), it was totally inappropriate to be grinning like a Cheshire cat. I assume he’s an example of being appointed in return for support.
