Sir Keir Starmer is “finished”, a BBC star has claimed after an “utterly damning” clip of the prime minister was aired on BBC News. The PM was speaking live from Surrey back in January on the programme and inviting questions from journalists – but accused people calling for a public inquiry into grooming gangs of “jumping on the bandwagon”.
Starmer resisted calls for a national inquiry and at the time accused people “calling for inquiries” of “wanting to jump on a bandwagon of the far right, and that affects politics”. He opted for a review instead – which has now been published calling for a national inquiry, forcing another U-turn from Labour.

Now BBC Radio star Lee Harris has predicted the final straw for Starmer with the clip, tweeting: “This utterly damning clip should mark the end of Keir Starmer’s premiership. It’s impossible for him to recover from this. The man is truly evil. I despise him.”
His followers soon jumped into the replies section to share their thoughts, with one proposing: “So are Labour far right now that they’ve called for an inquiry? Starmer owes an apology to all those people he attempted to accuse of being far right. They were just RIGHT after all.”
Somebody else agreed: “Keir must go yesterday or sooner.” While a third social media user echoed calls for the PM to “resign”.
GB News star Harris also called for MP Jess Phillips to be sacked, tweeting: “Never forget: Jess Phillips blocked a national inquiry into Pakistani rape gangs because she was worried about losing votes. She has got to go.”
Followers were quicker to defend Phillips, with one writing: “I think it came from higher up to be honest.” Another added: “I can’t bear to listen to her or watch her, but I imagine she’s probably got her heart in the right place.” Phillips herself has insisted she “has never turned a blind eye” to the grooming gangs.
