Even this morning, his quotes on the Sunday breakfast chat shows are going viral

But, amid all the election chaos, people have stumbled across a tweet from 2011 and it’s just about the best thing to come from the UK election:

Seeing it pop up on people’s timeline has been a joy

Like an adorable relic from the past

So, so wholesome

Getting that 1000th like was a turning point

And now look at him

And his supporters are only delighted how he’s gone from 999 to 1.2 million
