As well as being ambushed by cake, Boris Johnson has now been ambushed by these 17 memes

The latest in a long, long line of alleged parties the government threw over lockdown is here – and this time it’s apparently Boris Johnson’s own birthday party back in 2020, when precisely no one else in the whole country was able to celebrate their birthdays. Up to 30 people attending enjoyed M&S snacks and watched Boris’ wife present him with a birthday cake, ITV reports – no word yet as to whether it was a Colin the Caterpillar cake.

But all is not lost! A Tory MP has come to Boris’ defence saying he was simply “ambushed with a cake”. Happens to the best of us, right? Well, people on Twitter are not happy and are rinsing the whole situation. Number 10 have said a group of staff “gathered briefly” after a meeting with Boris to wish him happy birthday, and said the Prime Minister himself was there for less than 10 minutes. But enough of them, here are all the best tweets and memes about the birthday party where Boris Johnson was apparently the victim of a cake ambush:

5. A crucial piece of the puzzle

There is, as yet, no confirmation that Sue Gray or the Met have interviewed the cake which ambushed the Prime Minister. Here’s hoping we get answers in the morning.
