For 59 minutes, he looked as though he was sitting on the rough end of a pineapple. And yet he’s supposed to be our leader.
Keir Starmer was picked to take us into the promised land, but based on this performance, I doubt he could find a branch of Morrisons in a light mist.
He sat there as President Trump handed him his rear end in full view of a live TV audience. Courteously, Trump explained to our Prime Minister that the way to win the next General Election was to cut taxes (Starmer increased them) stop migration (Starmer increased it) and make people wealthier (Starmer made them poorer).
So, that’s the good news. If Trump is right, and I think he is, Starmer will be gone in 2029. The bad news is that we have to put up with a dolt for the next four years.
The humiliation of Starmer reminded me of TV’s Spitting Image when SDP leader David Owen’s puppet figure had Lib Dem boss David Steel sitting on his knee. It drove Steel mad.
The defenestration of the Prime Minister was so compelling that it completely overshadowed an important speech by Nigel Farage at the same time.
He made two points. The first was that stats show migrants are far more likely to sexually assault women than our own nasty people.
This explains why there are so many women among protestors outside migrant hotels dotted all over the country. They worry about their own safety and that of their daughters. That is totally reasonable.
His other point was that our anger at migrants being housed in hotels is on the verge of explosion, and the social contract between the governed and the government is on the brink of breakdown.

What about the ‘’contract’’ between us and the law? As reported in The Times, an Algerian thief has been allowed to avoid deportation because he would face abuse back in his homeland, as he wears women’s clothes and make-up.
The man, aged 27, has been in the UK for 12 years and has repaid our kindness with a string of offences, including burglary, robbery, and has served at least one sentence of four years.
But because he hails from Algeria, his sexuality - described as ‘’gay, transvestite and/or transgender” (he got the full English) - would make him a target.
That, according to the judge at the Birmingham tribunal, would mean he would face mockery, harassment, discrimination and potential harm.
So, we will pay the price for his staying here by having our homes robbed and coughing for this man to spend many years in our jail. How can that be fair?
All polling shows voters of every hue (including Labour and the Greens) believe that social cohesion is on the brink due to thousands of migrants arriving on our shores every month.
Why doesn’t Starmer understand that it’s in his political interest to push these boats back? You can only believe that his political calculation is that these people will one day be Labour supporters.
Ridiculous. With the arrival of the Corbyn-Sultana party, the migrants will all flock to them as the benefits will be higher and the housing grander. Under Corbyn, I imagine the migrants will be PAID to stay in council flats.
I see no good news on the migrant horizon, and with Starmer’s lamentable performance yesterday, it’s clear we are lumbered with an ocean-going dud who believes as long as he says nothing, he can hold on to No.10.
I weep for the UK.
