So what were the REAL big events of 2022? From Matt Hancock stinking up the jungle to the true meaning of Wagatha Christie to the Mail’s efforts to get Beergate off the ground, we look back on 12 months of mendacity, grift, fantasy and denialism – and that’s just Boris Johnson. 

• “Truss was more useless and more mad than even Johnson realised” – Tom Peck
• “We should have Wagatha Christie once a year as a tradition. Pick two celebs who have a very stupid fight that ends up in court”. – Marie le Conte
• “Johnson’s leaving speechwas a good reminder that no, he hasn’t changed. He’s exactly who he said he was going to be”. – Tom Peck
