ENVIRONMENT Secretary Michael Gove is giving Theresa May a run for her money when it comes to the most embarrassing dancing by a Tory.
The Prime Minister went full Maybot earlier this year – click here for a reminder, in case you'd managed to forget.
Now, Gove has been filmed alongside former Labour shadow chancellor Ed Balls in a video equally as cringe.
The pair were dancing to Gangnam Style, Psy's huge hit music video which swept the world in ... 2012.
We can understand the desire to go back to a time before Brexit, but this is pushing it a bit.
WARNING: Here's the clip:

It may only be five seconds, but we still apologise for asking you to endure that.
It's a pity the Tory/Labour duo weren't at this act back in 2012, actually. It might have swung the independence referendum to Yes.
(They did perform it for a Channel 4 show in 2017, though.)
The video has more than 500,000 views on Twitter. The responses say it all.

In 50 years, this will be a Primary Source in the most depressing History GCSE exam ever set.

We can say one thing with certainty – "better together" certainly does not apply to their dancing.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
