Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called a general election, presenting himself as a leader with a plan. Despite the rain, he didn’t use an umbrella during his speech in front of 10 Downing Street, leading to a wave of sarcastic headlines.
Tabloids like City A.M. and The Daily Mirror poked fun with headlines like “Drowning Street” and “Drown & out.” The Daily Telegraph joined in with “Things can only get wetter.”
The humorous responses came on the first day of the election announcement.
