Cameron tweets picture of himself watching ISS launch, internet reacts hilariously
Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted a photo of himself watching Tim Peake’s launch to the International Space Station on TV. Twitter being Twitter, however, his PR stunt soon resulted in a series of hilarious spoofs.
It was great to watch Tim Peake blast off on his mission to join the International Space Station. pic.twitter.com/pqAw0ETuok

Others were just baffled by how close Cameron sits to his TV screen. Has his mother never warned him he'll get square eyes? And in such an awkward position. Let’s be honest, as far as TV watching goes, he looks like an amateur.
Literally the most uncomfortable way to watch telly ever #TimPeakehttps://t.co/hAz4U4d3a2

When David Cameron watched the Olympics on TV he wore the kit. WHY ISN'T HE WEARING A SPACE SUIT? pic.twitter.com/VZFUCTMUgl
