- Politicians hit the road in the run up a general election but with so many cameras watching their every move, gaffes are always in abundance...
From Gordon Brown's infamous 'bigoted woman' comment through to Diane Abbott's maths blunder, here are six of our favourite general election gaffes of all time.

What was your favourite blunder?
The Prescott punch 🤣
Yours not mentioning any of the Tory "alternative facts" we've heard so far.
40=6 when talking about hospitals etc etc.
Were do I start, so many,😂
Jacob Rees Mogg talking about Grenfell victims, the time he fell asleep, Boris Johnson claiming there were going to be 50,000 NHS staff but it's more like 31,000, the time the Tories faked the Labour manifesto and doctored Keir Starmers interview... there are so many great moments but none of which you are showing.. such a shame.
Hillary Benn and his surrender bill.
On the John Prescott one, I don't care what your political affiliations are, if someone pelts you in the head with an egg you're allowed to pop them in the face
Respect to him for doing so. Wish we saw someone slap one of them milkshake mugs
Spot on. Egg throwers are disgusting.
Yes I couldn't stand him but he was spot on hitting him for throwing that egg
Or was it the egg? He threw the egg the second his eyes caught sight of that mullet so even more understandable
Unless you are Fraser anning
John Prescott actually gained admiration for punching the egg thrower.Most people understood his reaction .
skoot2u Don’t like him but yes, that was fair enough
@@joelt3944
Agree, no time for Prescott, but a reasonably good left hook at the required moment.
@ Skoot. I admired him for it....the long haired lout who threw the egg was a `scrote` and got what he deserved. Ironic though.....Labour `activists` Momentum and especially Antifa are up to thuggery much worse than this scrote of yesteryear.
@@grahamsouthern5583 Actually it was a jab not a hook!
As others have said, can't stand the hypocrite but can't blame him for his reaction.
Tbf to Prescott he was assaulted and defended himself
I can't stand him, but as you say it was self defence.
@Daniel O'Sullivan Cracking punch.
Self defense against an *egg*??? The guy threw the egg and stood their grinning, happy with himself. He didn't need to throw a punch over it.
@@karl1091 you could do with chilling out. Sit in the bath and have a magnum or something.
@@tokyomobster3072 i am chill..but if someone wants to throw things at me, im throwing things at them...only I'll be throwing punches
Despite what mommy told you...violence dies solve problems
Prescott one was memorable. I also like the fact that he never apologized.
@@blackphilip8936 As a fan of the UFC I'd say even though Mr Mullett had the wrestling advantage but he still got punched.
He said the party leader said to him to meet the people he met the guys face with his first
Well done John
Diane Abbott could have a full top 6 on her own, the human calculator, 😂 worst group of MPs we've ever seen.👎
A new 'carry on film' staring Diane Abbott carry on Mrs Bumble
@Fish Lake the sun can't delete comments, it's RUclips that does it.
Lots of reasons not to vote Labour. Abbott is one of them. Certainly did not get her shadow role on talent!!
that's a horrible mental picture! imagine the sweaty face of either of these two looming down on top of you. I am going to listen to some pan pipes music now to get that image out of my head! That's simply horrible!
@Fish Lake news papers are businesses not political parties, half of you lefties don't know your arse from your elbow
Prescott's reaction was only human.
I don't care, I like Prescott. There, I said it.
Labour, tory, libdem, it doesn't matter, the reaction is totally justified
Well done John.
The punch by "two shags", happy days!!!
I LOVE the fact that the press made a point of replaying the 'bigoted woman' conversation to the lady in question 😂
Stirring🤣🤭👍
You could have had a Dianne Abbott special on this.
Her son could be her warm up act.
She's certainly special
Trouble is would you have David Lammy as the warm up act or the final party piece its hard to decide.
@@Makatosh ki is doing
@@jameshammonds4687l
Gordon Brown is the same person who told the police in places like Rochdale to NOT tackle the grooming gang reports. Calls someone a bigoted woman in that same town. Hah.
True, and he and his Home Secretary Jacqui Smith have never been called to account for it. Having said that the the media knew what was going on for years and David Blunkett when he was Home Secretary, met the parents as far back as 2002.
freebeerfordworkers Same despicable man who plundered the pension pot, sold off the gold at its lowest price, deregulated the banks and told housewives not to purchase buy one, get one free items !!!...absolute clown.
she was bigoted however
Completely untrue, but go ahead and re-write history. We live in a post truth world now.
GeNiUs
I'm surprised Ms Abbott never made the ENTIRE top 6
@M J Hahahaa!! Nice one, or as I refer to as The Accountant!
The fact that Abbott is in anyway in charge of anything at all shows the dismal state of our government!! I wouldn't put her in charge of making a cup of tea seriously
She ran through a field of wheat...Teresa’s a Badass
well kinda is lol as someone who knows someone who is farmer ppl standing on ur crops is costly but i did same wen i was kid plus play tag with potato to the face haha
She forgot to mention she was totally naked at the time :D
She forgot to mention committing treason, the worst law to break
@@stueymorris she committed treason running through a wheat field? 😂
@@seaskimmer committing an act of war against America, premeditated harm against Britains etc etc
Prescott's punch wasn't a gaffe, it was the best thing he ever did
Thank you, Diane, for years of effortless contribution to British comedy; time to step back and pass on the torch. Step forward David Lammy!
Jo Swinson ”What is a woman?" should have been in the list
thank you for bringing that to my attention
@@blackphilip8936 shes still a munter
I for one am so glad this woman is no longer an MP. Sturgeon next...Merkel should have been gone long ago...Treasonous May bit the dust....Clinton still a menace, Puppet master of Poisonous Pelosi...she got to go soon too...the poison is slowly being sucked from the world!
Lisa Nandy insisting male criminals who claim to be men should be allowed to serve their sentences in women's prisons. even rapists. she is still of that opinion...reason no:439 why Liebore are still in the outer reaches of the electoral solar system.
@@simonlloyd7557 don't you mean men who claim to be woman?
Good to see Labour learnt a valuable lesson from Gordon Brown and labelling all people who don't agree with their mass immigration policies, bigots.
Lol
she was a bigoted woman who claimed eastern europeans lived off benefits
John Prescott was told to connect with the electorate so he did 🤷🏻♂️
Let me help maybot.
Doing everything you could for 3 years to screw brexit, that was more than a little naughty.
Also selling weapons to the Saudis which are used to slaughter Yemeni women and children, but you know those farmers were annoyed
I can't believe I've been misquoting Diane's figures. I've been saying 8 million when it's actually 80 million. It never gets old! lol
“You are watching “The worst ever election gaffes” on the sun on RUclips.
yeah I opened RUclips and clicked on it mate
Odessa The Yanks’ influence.
John Prescott's response was not a gaffe. It was commendable, and although not an admirer of him, I think he gained a lot of support for his actions.
@Roger London Regrettably, that is probably the case.
Show what utter crap there is in parliment
Ed milliband once visited my school and said to my friend and I that we WERE QUITE HAPPY FOR 16 YR OLDS 😂🙄. We're not all slitting our wrists
That punch was the only thing I liked about Prescott!
Diane Abbott is the gift that keeps on giving, on a more serious note the 2020 Labour Party looks about as dead politically as it’s possible to be.
Dianne Abbotts life as an MP is the biggest blunder...
@Tonald Drump L O L, she hasn't a Scooby doo
Diane Abbott's life is the biggest blunder
Diane Abbott and her wonderful son who supports our emergency services!
On election day, Coybyn monoxide only hoped that it was Diane Abbot whom did the election count. Nothing else see to add up for him that can makes sense to him.
@@limerickman8512 Lol, Labour would have won for the next six election had Diane Abbot been counting :)
@@martinsaint2182 Not, if She keeps making dementia mistakes.
What about Kinnock's gaffe in 1992 of punching the air in Sheffield when he assumed he would win. Brown was a thoroughly nasty man. His grimace which was meant to be a smile in 2010 was also a gaffe.
Prescott didn't gaffe. He went up in my estimation after that. The egg chucker deserved what he got.
“The Mullett” !!
Should’ve punched him for that mullet alone. Even in 2001, mullets were criminal.
What a surprise from The Sun. Only 1 highlighted was from the Conservatives.
You make that sound like a bad thing.
@Adam Craig says the brainwashed sheep lmao
Exactly! Right wing newspaper Propaganda only highlighting mistakes made by the Left. Can't imagine Boris ever said something untoward or out of turn! Nothing about 'Letterbox Muslims' for example.
@Adam Craig Of course someone religion requires a persons respect. The letterbox comment is obviously discriminative against religion and race!
@Adam Craig Throwing that word around Im willing to bet you are, I suppose you also think climate change and a 300% rise in homelessness is also moronic, or how tories have gotten us into more debt, or maybe its the council tax that they introduced 25 years ago that you love
Apparently Diane Abbott has personally re-counted all the votes of the 2019 election, and can now announce that Labour has won by a clear majority! Also, she has talked in depth about her ethnicity and has stated she is 1/4 Ghanaian, 1/4 Jamaican, 1/4 Scottish, 1/2 English and 1/2 French.
Literally anything from Abbott. Anybody remember the odd shoes? 😂
Prescott's punch was not a gaffe at all but legitimate self-defense.
Maybe it was technically self-defense but it was also a completely unnecessary escalation. Smart thing to do would be to just ignore the idiot and get cleaned up, don't think there would have been any further confrontation that way.
@@twrampage There's nothing "technical" about this. I'll see how you behave in such a situation.
@@str.77 I wouldn't throw a punch. It's a broken egg, not an attempt on his life.
@@twrampage no. Its someone wants to pee on your head. Will you allow him?
@@Judgernaut1 Are you seriously trying to suggest that an egg is the equivalent of a guy taking his junk out and peeing on you?
Gordon brown destroyed labour and they still haven’t fixed it
Tony Blair 🤧
Do a top 6 of the Abbopottomus she deserves her own list!
She,is,Jabba,the,Hut,to,you,,puny,human.
but who's got 6 hours spare to watch them?
Tbh I wouldnt want to see that much of her
Dianne abbot should be the new chaser on the chase just for the crack 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Teresa May was about to tell us something then you could see her thinking 'no no don't tell them that'
I don't blame Prescott for his reaction. It was instinctive after being hit by an egg from about 2 feet
You left out the bit where Brown was covering his face in shame as they played it back to him, that was the funniest bit
Brown's distain of working class concerns over immigration wins hands down.
It's always Dianne Abbott she keeps giving😂😂
You forgot to include Boris Johnson saying he’s scared of groups of black kids
Sensible
Or hiding in the fridge
@@Xiphactinus Pretty desperate smear don't you think? You going to have a little cry on Friday?
@@chairmanmeow8388 mate I'm right leaning but Boris is a clown! I'll only be thinking about being in the verge of tears if the circus himself (Corbyn) wins
I can’t find any evidence of him saying that
Diane Abbott the The Ramanujam ( Mathematician) of UK and the vadivelu(comedian) of UK politics 😂😂😂
A notable lack of Tory gaffs on there.
What else would you expect from this rag?
noodle1987able Liebour are finished
noodle1987able Now’s your chance. Compile one.
Labour are beyond satire, Tories are not far behind! However modern Labour don't help themselves
@@toomanysecrets7121 wow. So clever....
In the end, Brown's gaffe was the only important one - showed just how out of touch the Labour leaders had become by then - even worse now, of course.
Oh, and Abbott!
Indeed, who'd have thought when the Labour Party was founded that within a hundred years it would have transformed into a party that hated ordinary folk.
Re John Prescott ... perhaps this is the same reaction milkshakers should receive?? People might start thinking twice about starting things eh??
“He was overpowered” this reporters clearly never had a fight before
He is just an example of what most politicians think of the general public when we don't agree with their form of governing us.
Diane Abbot4 what's 1+1
Reply errrr! derrrr! another 1

2 left shoes..
The Brown one was the worst because the women looked genuinly hurt by it.
She was a bigot too. Don't always agree with Brown but he was right then
@@sgl0d10n depends on your definition.
Wow, so unbiased... Only one Tory gaffe about someone the Tories don’t even like, no mention of David Cameron and the pig?
Go and watch guardian or mirror videos if that’s what you are after.
Prescotts left hook wasnt a gaffe. It was legendary 👏
I like brown after the 1st one, only time I've seen him being himself...😂
John Prescott with that left jab. Spot on.
When are we adding the Left Shoes?
And the sneaky G & T on the tube !
CRITICISE THE SUN THOUGH AND THEY WHINE ABOUT 'PRESS FREEDOM'
THE SUN CAN GIVE BUT NOT TAKE
Abbott is still the best 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Every time she speaks it's a gaffe
Keeps on giving! Best stand-up comedy politician on the circuit!
Naughtiest thing you’ve done Teressa May was asked n she replied me n my friends ran throu a field of wheat n the farmer wasn’t happy 🤣🤣
Looooll.
One of Canada’s PMs did this to a guy who physically attacked him.
Jean Chretien vs. Bill Clennett... 'The Shawinigan Handshake'!
Dianne Abbott- my God she makes our Australian politicians look like rocket surgeons
3.47 love how the guy was all smiles after he threw the egg, Prescott wiped that smirk off his face didn’t he.
thousands of people in London screaming and crying and raging at the sky hallelujah
Thanks for the video. Good to see politics doesn't always have to be doom and gloom
It would seem that John Prescott is a normal bloke and man of the people.Let's have more politicians like this.
The egg one definitely but I wouldn't call that a blunder, the mullet deserved it
Pretty much the whole Labour 2019 election campaign could be considered one of the best gaffes...
Had to go back up to rochdale... Thats the worst of it all.
Diane is the reason after forty years of voting Labour, I finally became a Tory.
Just started watching .. will they all be Labour gaffes ?
@Fish Lake As it turns out .. 4 Labour gaffes .. 1 Tory gaffe .. 1 Lib Dem.
Obviously. Murdoch hates the party that wants to tax him.
And the stupid working class haven't figured that out yet.
Where's the tory gaffes? There's plenty of them.
This is The S*n; a biased Murdoch rag. They'll always pick on Labour even though you're right about Tory Gaffes.

Oliver Baldwyn I said BIASED. Read my comment again. Unless you’re a Sun reader in which case you won’t be able to read.
Biggest election gaffe ever was anyone who ever voted Tory during the last 45 years.
It will cost..... It will cost.... erm.... about.... about....
God help us🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Though they’re keeping her well hidden at the moment.. No need to wonder why🤣🤣
Good punch, throwing eggs is so sad.
Lucky it was just an egg. Who'd be a politician. You're a sitting duck for anyone who wants to take a pot shot
Unbiased "journalism" at its finest
i dont know how you can get upset about this?
About any of Boris Johnson gaffes like the 50000 new nurses
50000 MORE nurses. ;).
You could fill a 2 hour video with Diane Abbott gaffes alone. She never disappoints. In fact, she's probably gagged and locked in a cupboard in John McDonnells house as we speak. And bear in mind, she could be home Secretary, jeepers!!!
Prescott's punch wasn't a gaffe, it was a down to earth reaction, and they had a pint together afterwards. And Nick Clegg should have grabbed the lad's bum - in good Liberal tradition.
're nick Clegg- not nowadays. Had be arrested lol
Why hasn't arrest of Abbotts son been reported
How many kids does Boris have?
flatlinerking does it matter?
He bit a cop
@@kennethpickford6706 so does Abbotts son matter? Hundreds of people get arrested daily
@@flatlinerking She was the shadow home secretary!
You ask, what was my favourite blunder. Diana Abbott every time she opens her mouth.
Prescott with the quick jab damn
As much as I hate hate hate Prescott, he was fully entitled to have a go at that guy.
Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest
Benjamin Franklin
The fields of wheat thing is just silly.
You're asking the Prime Minister of the country what the naughtiest thing they've done is. You think they're going to say they mugged a tramp?
She's the daughter of a vicar from the countryside. What do you expect?
It's fair too, because going through wheat fields is very costly to farmers. It's absolutely a "naughty" thing for a child to do, it can cause a lot of damage ruining crops. City people just lapping it up.
fair play to prescott for defending himself
but he still got over powered
If you were paying attention you would have noticed the wardrobe malfunction dude had a belt on
Obviously wasn't fastened properly though. 🤣
You're okay to watch the sun, just make sure you have AdBlocker on!
Remember people policy not people. One party is for the 99% and it sure as hell ain't the Tories. Don't swallow everything Murdoch feeds you, that's like, I don't know, not engaging in democracy!
My favourite moment?
Counting gaffes:
Labour 4
Tory 1
Lib Dem 1
All brought to you by the neutral and objective Sun.
Abbas Zaidi 😂😂😂
Sun has never claimed to be neutral?
I'm sensing a pattern in this video. Do The Sun not like Labour?
I thought the official Labour reaction to the Abbott gaff was she was ill? My question is when will she get better?
And would you all be applauding if a Conservative Minister like Redwood or Tebbit had punched someone protesting about unemployment ?
The joys of a hot mic 🎙 lol
That was a jab rather than a hook
Tony Blair told Prescott to "CONNECT" with the voters. He did exactly as he was told. And apparently the Labour votes increased by a third so he must have HIT the right chord.
I have to say, I congratulated Prescott for his punch. No one should have things thrown at them and he went up in my estimation after that.
somebody throws an egg at me from 2 feet away, I would punch them also.
Every moment from the labour party is a gaffe! The video would be too long to watch all the way through
It is never a good moment when our MP's lie
if anyone is waiting for those politicians to "do something", they are on the wrong side of life anyway.
The Sun isn’t even trying not be a propaganda machine anymore
