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

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

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

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

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

Odds not adds

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Sorry but I can’t stand the man.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 22-Sep-22 09:09:07

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?

Whitewavemark2 Thu 22-Sep-22 09:05:24

No he definitely was not on the phone.

His behaviour was utterly bizarre.

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

Iam64 Thu 22-Sep-22 09:02:52

Was he taking a private phone call? That’s the least disreputable take I have on him, appearing to talk, laugh, wipe his face with his hand and appear to sway.
