Kwasi Kwarteng at the Queen’s funeral.

Tomorrow is his mini-budget, the 'Fiscal Event' - I wonder if he will do the morning media round as Therese Coffey did today to announce her waffle reforms.

Yet again Coffey was asked on Times Radio this morning as to her suitability to be Health Secretary on account of that photo of her obviously pissed, holding a wine glass and spills down her front, plus a cigar! A bit unfair IMO to keep bringing up this photo.

It will be a travesty if Kwarteng is not questioned on his unusual behaviour.

Kalu, if this is ignored, Truss will be continuing the kind of behaviour that got Johnson ditched.

Whether his odd behaviour is due to prescribed medication or self medication, he is by no means fit to hold hold the position of Chancellor. I do hope Liz Truss doesn’t ignore this.

You're welcome.
Strange, isn't it?

I'm saying strange because it may be something he can't help, but if it's not, then it's pretty terrible behaviour.

Thanks for the clip MissAdventure this is the first I have heard of/seen his very inappropriate behaviour. To me he looks drunk (certainly 'high' on something). I hope Mrs Truss has had a word with him and asked him to explain himself. If the man isn't well or has an addiction problem, she needs to know.

Well I’m almost sorry for him, it’s not a great start, and he’ll have a job to stop this following him around for the rest of his time in office.

Itching powder in his pants, maybe?
(Or a different kind of powder elsewhere? Sniff...)

Perhaps he put his Y fronts on back to front?

(Just being charitable, thinking of excuses)

Gosh, I hadn't seen this but, thank you for posting it!! I don't think he is on the phone or with a hidden earpiece. Even if he was why would you wear one to a funeral, he's hardly working for MI5.!! He looks like he is on drugs or is suffering from a hangover, whatever it is he needs to explain himself. It was totally disrespectful and typical of this useless bunch of politicians who think they are head and shoulders above everyone else. Having seen this I shall now be watching any interviews VERY closely.

Surely he is in the wrong job if he reacts to being uncomfortable like this?

(No axe to grind not axe to bring.)

I read it as, "thoroughly uncomfortable with the occasion". I think speculation about Mental Health stuff is rather OTT and inappropriate for those who do suffer. Assmptions/labelling. BTW, don't like the man or his policies at all no axe to bring there.

Possibly is on the spectrum for Tourette’s. Figgiting can be a symptom I believe.

Perhaps he forgot to go before he arrived iyswim and wondering where the nearest loo is?

If it's medication, then I wouldn't mind a prescription for it!

If he’s on medication that has this sort of effect he shouldn’t be Chancellor.

Wiping his face and glasses - I could be charitable and suggest that he shed a tear and his specs steamed up.

Anyone who was there must know that the camera will zoom in on any one of them at any moment, if he hasn't the sense to realise that then is he in the right job ?

How do you think we feel, he is our MP here in Spelthorne!
You know what to do at the next election! ?

In this area he is known as someone who would attend the opening of a paper bag if it got him in the news!

Well, he has got his wish to be noticed now.

There is another, longer video, where he is mopping his head, swaying around, and looking as if he wants to make eye contact with someone/anyone.

He looks like he was off his head

Absolutely bizarre.

Is he ordinarily a bit eccentric?

We’ll all be on antidepressants after he’s delivered his not budget.
