With Labour’s leadership wannabes not quite yet succeeding in toppling Sir Keir Starmer, the lucky public was treated to another PMQs with the left’s human rights hero still at the helm. In a shock to absolutely no one, Lib Dem buffoon Sir Ed Davey seized the chance to exploit splits on the left over Brexit and push for some pro-EU gushing. He pressed Sir Keir on whether he would support Britain inching closer to Brussels, to which the Prime Minister responded:
‘There are trade deals with the EU, but also with India, North Korea and the United States, and I remind them of the value of those deals.’
Later, having realised that Kim Jong Un had not, in fact, signed a bumper trade agreement with Blighty, Sir Keir was forced to correct the record in the chamber. In a rare moment of the Prime Minister putting humour above tedious legalese, he remarked: ‘I’ve just been handed a note saying that I inadvertently said we did a trade deal with North Korea instead of South Korea.’
He added that perhaps he should be referred to the Privileges Committee after all…
