Here are some of the top-rated comments on Starmer’s TikTok videos since he joined the platform yesterday:
“How long do you think it’ll take for him to turn his comments off?” 7203 likes.
“I feel like I’m gonna get taxed for viewing your profile.” 3872 likes.
“Careful what you say. He will have us all arrested.” 1225 likes.
One user questioned whether Number 10 would eventually switch off comments entirely given the reaction. Some poor bag-carrier in the building is actually reading them, because ‘Keir Starmer’ himself replied to a post earlier…
The good news is he now has 17,000 followers, and the account has posted five videos. One shared today shows Starmer wandering around the corridors of Number 10, muttering hello to a few people off-camera, and taking off his jacket. It’s not exactly Citizen Kane levels of filmmaking. But apparently this is ‘going where the people are’…
Speaking at his speech on how to achieve “progressive capitalism” Wes Streeting fired a dig and Andy Burnham:
“Bond markets are not bond villains and fiscal rules matter.”
