Solutions

1:B - The interim leader was unable to name any of the 44 seats that Ukip is contesting and also announced a new policy on asylum, which Boulton patiently explained was the same as the existing government policy. Mountain recently replaced Richard Braine as leader and is definitely not a new Catherine Tate character, as many had suggested., 2:C - Rees-Mogg was wittering on about the old Wurzels song When The Common Market Comes To Stanton Drew. He has been mostly kept away from the public and media during this campaign after his offensive comments about Grenfell Tower, and no, we've no idea why he insists on that supersized rosette either., 3:A - We're not entirely sure of the logic of protesting against one of the few buses in the campaign that is an electric vehicle, but it did make for some great pictures. I guess they were hoping to create a (wait for it)… buzz., 4:C - Bikson tried to leave the event after giving a short speech and declining to stay for the Q&A session. She left the stage via the fire escape, then found herself outside in a dead end as the school gates were locked. Rather than trudging back through the packed hall to get out, she pondered her predicament for up to 45 minutes before opting to climb over the fence., 5:C - It was, of course, Burger King, the (it says here in the press release) "home of the flame-grilled whopper™". Nice detail that they used a proper old London Routemaster, too., 6:A - Cat Smith revealed that there were also posters featuring dogs, and even dinosaurs – although she doubted that many people in Lancaster & Fleetwood had pet dinosaurs., 7:D - Yes: a population larger than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland combined appear to live in areas where, whoever you vote for, the same party gets in regardless. , 8:C - The fact that the icon for the WhatsApp chat was a dick pic may have been a clue that the information wasn't entirely reliable. "Baggsy, Trousers, Stupid, Phil, Egg" was a tweet from the Derry Girls actor and general all-round hero Nicola Coughlan from back in August, when she bemoaned that all straight men had a group of friends with these kinds of names. "And once again, I am correct" she tweeted triumphantly after the Queen story went viral., 9:C - It's 3pm. Has been for some time. , 10:A - Grant canvassed in Westminster with Chuka Umunna, then appeared at an event in Chingford with Faiza Shaheen. The actor said he had decided his best role in the election was “banging the drum for tactical voting”., 11:B - The ad intercut clips of the BBC presenters talking about Brexit delays with footage of opposition leaders. In response to the ban, Edwards said: “Good. My thoughts on this kind of stunt are unprintable.”, 12:D - Couldn't have been the bottle of water, because that would lead to one of those Thick Of It-style disasters of someone being pictured with single-use plastic packaging., 13:A - "Now that's not very nice, is it?" Mercer said in the video clip he posted. "I kind of think it's a bit sad. The sort of thing we do when we are 11 or 12 years old." Mind you, the Conservative candidate did go on to say: "Now, I know Advertising Standards may come back and say: 'Actually, there's no problem about this, because Johnny Mercer is actually a twat.'" We worry about him, we really do., 14:B - Ashworth said: "I had no idea it would be an all male panel when I agreed to do Question Time. I don’t believe it should be an all male panel tonight, so my brilliant friend Anneliese Dodds is heading to Hull to represent Labour instead of me.", 15:D - Aside from knowing that it is horrible to the people in the lovely village, we know almost nothing about the goose, except now that it supports Jeremy Corbyn. Its name and even its gender remain a mystery.
