Good one 😂👍 got me laughing my arse off. This is a wind up, right? 😶

Liam “easiest deal in history” Fox?

Accompanied by Adam Werrrity?

Well, he won't get the job, that is for sure...

Jeeezzz

You couldn’t write it!

God help the WTO and the UK

Is this a bad joke... 😯🙄

Will he be taking his friend with him?

Just sheer madness!!!

They having a laugh surely, he must be the worst possible candidate

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ..... no really?

Total joke. Someone tell me the punchline!

I thought Brexiters like LiamFox didn't believe in 'undemocratic supranational organisations' like the wto usurping British sovereignty 🤔

'A Pedant,canting Preacher, and a Quack...' Dryden.

Next he'll be out entry in the Eurovision.... The man couldn't find his own arse...

Hilarious, building on our great reputation for world beating brains!

🤦🏻

Not the UK, this shitshow government nominated this incompetent. BorisHasFailedTheNation

This is a joke. ‘Ideal candidate’ at producing nothing which may be the idea. How many trade deals did he secure under May before he was sacked by Johnson?

It'd be great for Britain to have him to lead WTO but na it won't happen unless we bribe a lot of people which I admit is a possibility.

And Dr Crippen to head the WHO?

There simply aren't enough lols.

What could go wrong?

Is that the disgraced former Secretary of State for Defence by any chance?

With his 'best mate advisor'

That's the WTO whose staff consider Liam Fox to be a laughing stock.

Oh dear

Liam Fox says Corona 18 will be the 'easiest virus in human history to stop'. So he's obviously the guy for the job.

Thats worse than refunding it!

As trailed on Any Questions a fortnight ago.

I didn't nominate him.

Is that a chip shop?

😅😅😅😅

At last the ultimate example of the Peter Principle

Is that the disgraced cabinet minister?

You wish

I didn't get the memo so I didn't nominate him... Who else got the memo?

😂😂😂

Nah, you’re alright

The subs always forget to use his full title 'Disgraced Former Defence Secretary' Liam Fox.

I sincerely hope there are other candidates for this job

liamfox is a disgraced former minister who abused his position and fiddled his expenses.

He has got history laugh or cry?

Most of the time USA, the EU and China disregard the decisions made by the WTO.

Let the dimmest lead the worst organisation in the world

I’m old enough to remember when he was fired for being a security threat.

World beaters

Screwed

Please

Down, down we go!

Liam 'easiest trade deal in history' Fox?

Chop Boris' left nut, draw a mustache on it and you might have a better chance. Thats how bad that idea of Fox is...

Nominated by Basil Fawlty and seconded by Frank Spencer

😂

LMAO

...and when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any worse... (For a country that had a reputation built over the years about common sense- the last 5 years proved otherwise...) British politics seems more like another episode of black adder... or a continuous film by monty python...

I'd love to kick Liam Fox's ass.

I would rather eat a bowl of earwax than support this nomination

Really, really don't go there, WTO.

Had to check this wasn’t The Onion

What an insult?

Let's all remember this is the same LiamFox who said 'The free trade agreement that we will have to do with the European Union should be one of the easiest in human history.' Sure.

Jesus wept

Great news. A global Britain.

NotASeriousCountry

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha er no

Why isn’t he in prison?

Christ on a three-wheeler bike! You couldn't make it up, could you? I mean ... you just couldn't. Will Andrew W be cuddling on his lap during meetings?

Bloody hell ! This guy is like a cat going through a revolving door . He just keeps coming back & back & back ..... 🙄

China will buy all votes from Africa to support a candidate of its liking DiplomaticDiscourses

Oh, it wasn't a joke then.

not a drop of dignity left

We’re not even pretending to be a serious nation anymore... Might have well have nominated Mr. Fucking Bean.

Pissing myself here!!

This guy didn't even do PPE he did medicine right? He shouldn't even be allowed to be an MP anymore, today's standards are a joke.

Aburd. Preposterous.

How many more times will irony die?

How embarrassing

Can anyone explain how likely he is to get the job? What sway and support is there within the powers that be that he even has a chance or is there something more sinister at hand, reading the article, the eu hasnt nominated a candite, is that they wont? Or they haven't yet?

In terms of ability to do the job competently and honestly, they would probably have been better off nominating our rabbit. And our rabbit (pictured below) at least has the advantage of being cute and fluffy...

2020 UK...always ready to spread its ignorance, incompetence and idiocy around the world.

Tell me this is a joke...becuase he is

That's Ok then. Normal service as usual,

hahaha, oh dear what a mess we are.

go on, tell me another joke!

Just when we thought things couldn’t get more comical!

Are you kidding me ? he is the biggest business clown on earth

This is a joke, right ?

🤣🤣🤣

China would never allow him.

UK aims gun at own foot

ForTheBanter

I don't remember nominating anyone to lead World Trade Organisation unless it was only the British Government who did it and not the people.

What could possibly go wrong?

Crook

HA!
