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…
UPDATE: Starmer finally returns after ten days in hiding. He’s back…
