Bumbling John McDonnell manages to confuse Brexit with ‘breakfast’ THREE times in the same disastrous speech

JOHN McDonnell was supposed to have Theresa May in his sights this morning - but instead he seemed to only have eyes for his next meal.

The Shadow Chancellor managed to confuse ‘breakfast’ with Brexit not once, but THREE times in a speech in London.

The hard left firebrand referred to a ‘chaotic breakfast’ as he tried to attack the Government EU strategy, leaving himself with egg (and bacon) on his face.

Mr McDonnell was supposed to attack Mrs May for pursuing a ‘bankers’ Brexit’ that sorted out sweetheart deals for big business that ordinary people would have to pay for.

But the key Corbyn ally’s attack was completely nullified by his tripping over his words, calling it instead a ‘bankers’ breakfast’.

The tongue-tied politician seemed completely obvious to his hilarious blunders, but was quickly mocked on social media.

One Twitter user called him a “cereal offender” after repeatedly saying the wring thing, with others tweeting pictures of ruined meals as examples of a McDonnell-inspired “chaotic breakfast”.

Another posted: “Now McDonnell is confusing Brexit with breakfast. Makes you wonder how many of the 52% thought they were voting for a Full English?”

But he is not the first senior politician to make the same mistake, after the Welsh Conservative leader fluffed his lines at party conference earlier this month.

Andrew RT Davies told an audience in Birmingham: “Conference, mark my words, we will make breakfast…Brexit, a success.”

He then laughed and said he’d “have a word with the autocue”.

Since the EU referendum June others have mixed up Brexit and breakfast, with the SNP’s Ian Blackford blundering in a debate in Parliament.

He said: “It is deeply worrying that the Prime Minister is ploughing ahead with a hard breakfast.”
