It’s been nearly a week since Starmer posted to TikTok. Before the Mandelson debacle engulfed his premiership over the weekend, the Prime Minister-turned-influencer was sharing glossy montages of his foreign jollys and awkward memes more or less every day. Sometimes twice a day.
Now he’s on the brink of total meltdown, things are a bit quieter. It would be a real tonal mismatch to apologise to Epstein’s victims while ‘NOW OR NEVER’ by TKandz & CXSPER plays underneath (don’t worry, Starmer has never heard of that song either). Guido misses the content. Keir, come back…
Speaking at his press conference on the Pride in Place programme which was obviously all about Mandelson, Starmer said:
“Tomorrow’s front pages are unlikely to be about the Pride in Place programme.”
