Former home secretary Suella Braverman was duped into accepting a comedy show’s “Dick of the Year” award while launching a small boat in her constituency.

Pranksters invited the Tory MP to officially launch “Fareham Fishing” - a bogus angling company - as part of a segment for Channel 4’s Last Leg programme.

Ms Braverman, unaware, accepted the invitation from YouTube pranksters Josh Pieters and Archie Manners.

As she cuts a red ribbon with her head turned, the two pranksters unveil a sign saying, ‘The Last Leg’s Dick of the Year 2023, Suella Braverman.’

The duo then personally gives Ms Braverman the prize before walking off the pier.

After an awkward few moments, a slightly stunned-looking Ms Braverman can be seen looking toward her staff before saying: “I’m not sure what that is all about”.

Side note: they censor "dick" two different ways in that article and yet include it in the URL. Fear not truthseekers, I have re-dicked the mentions.
