Keir Starmer knows the audience were laughing at the constant repetition of being the son of a tool maker. They weren’t laughing at the fact he was a tool maker. This is an example of his dishonesty over petty things as well as major things. https://t.co/GEbxOGvvND
Tool Sir Keir Starmer suggests the audience last night were laughing at his dad being a toolmaker, and not the fact that he says it every two bloody minutes. Typical grievance politics from Labour. https://t.co/jqGa6x4E5B
The audience weren’t laughing at your dad’s occupation @Keir_Starmer, they were laughing at YOU mentioning his occupation after a million times. Even the interviewer was trying not to laugh when you said ‘He was a toolmaker a very good toolmaker’ 👀 https://t.co/vOsaSZORsj
‘Isn’t Keir Starmer missing the point here? People are laughing because he says it all the time. They aren’t mocking his Dad for working in a factory’ @MartinDaubney asks if the Labour leader is 'missing the point' when people laughed at him for saying his dad was a toolmaker. https://t.co/ccCeO3DjrR
