American political satirical comedy ‘Veep’ gave new meaning to the phrase “had me in stitches” when an Australian MP laughed so hard watching the show that he choked on his food and knocked himself out against a kitchen top.

Federal Labor MP Graham Perrett, who represents Moreton in Queensland, was left with a black eye and three stitches as a result of the mishap – and was comforted by stars of the TV show on Twitter when he displayed his injuries.

The incident, which happened last Sunday (April 30th), was reported by ‘Strewth’ column of The Australian newspaper. He praised the medical staff who helped him, but was concerned that he was now “losing votes every time I show my face”.
