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.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former home secretary Suella Braverman was duped into accepting a comedy show’s “D*ck 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 was sacked as home secretary last month after she accused Metropolitan Police chiefs of bias in their handling of the pro-Palestine protests.
Earlier this month she denied trying to oust Mr Sunak from office by “spreading poison” in the Tory party, as the PM was left reeling from the shock resignation of immigration minister Robert Jenrick, who quit over the Rwanda plan.
In a bruising interview on BBC Radio 4, the sacked home secretary defended her outspoken attacks on Mr Sunak and piled further pressure on him by insisting his Rwanda deportation legislation is doomed to fail.
The right-winger – who has claimed Mr Sunak is “weak” – was challenged by Today programmer interviewer Nick Robinson, who told her: “You are a headline grabber and you do it by spreading poison, even within your own party.”
