In the worst example of a politician trying to be “down with the kids” since Iain Duncan Smith did an Eminem rap on Good Morning Britain, former New Labour spin doctor and self-professed “communicator” (according to his Twitter bio) Alastair Campbell attempted to gif himself wanging on about Europe.

Alastair Campbell, ladies and gentleman. “Writer, communicator, consultant, strategist.”
