Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Brexit is the most important political decision of the decade.
The two things might sound vaguely similar, but they’re completely different and should never be confused.
We’re not sure Welsh Conservative Party Leader Andrew Davies got the memo though – either that or he hadn’t had his Shreddies before his Conservative Party Conference speech.
The Tory MP promised a packed conference hall that the party would make a success of ‘breakfast’ before quickly correcting himself and confirming that he did actually mean ‘Brexit’.
Andrew R. T. Davies told the audience: “Conference, mark my words, we will make breakfast… Brexit a success.”
He then added: “Now that’s one word that wasn’t meant to come out like that, was it. I’ll have a word with the autocue at the back.”
We’re not sure if the audience heard, but they were clapping rapturously – so we imagine they’re all looking forward to the spread the Theresa May’s party will lay on when we leave the EU. There’s probably not going to be croissants though.

Boris sits down at a restaurant table to tuck into a full English: "Brexit means breakfast, and we're going to make a success of it" #CPC16

He's probably far more diligent over his choice of breakfast, than he ever was over the Brexit choice #BrexitBreakfast

I was privy to @Tudur calling this one that the UK voted for breakfast and not Brexit at Neath Comedy Festival. https://t.co/SiKdYGbBj2

To be fair to Andrew Davies, brexit should mean: the awful feeling of needing your morning poo after only your first bite of breakfast.

If I knew how I'd make a bot that replies to anyone who mentions Brexit with "I think you mean breakfast". But I don't so may do it manually

To be fair to him, Davies took it pretty well on Twitter. After going viral, we perhaps we know why his middle name is ‘RT’…
Well, today has been rather quiet!! #BrexitBreakfast #CPC16
