Leo Varadkar caused quite a stir today when he shared a video based on a TikTok trend on Twitter. He had people rushing to announce the Taoiseach-turned-Tánaiste’s debut on the platform.

Sounds great, but he’s not actually on TikTok. Instead, he was meeting with representatives from the video-sharing app so his video was just a slightly awkward attempt to fit in.
