Kneecap send ‘farewell’ jibe to Starmer on social media following his resignation

Kneecap Sir Keir Starmer
  • Irish rap trio Kneecap marked Sir Keir Starmer 's resignation with a pointed "farewell" video in Irish, posted hours after the Prime Minister addressed the nation.
  • The video, captioned "Slán Keir," mocked Sir Keir's time in office by juxtaposing clips of him criticising the band with footage of their performances, including chants of "f*** Keir Starmer."
  • Sir Keir's original remarks against Kneecap stemmed from a terror charge against band member Mo Chara for displaying a Hezbollah flag, a charge that was later dismissed as "instituted unlawfully."
  • Known for their politically charged music, Kneecap frequently incorporates "Free Palestine" chants into their live shows.
  • The trio further criticised Sir Keir in their song "Liars Tale," condemning his stance on Israel’s military offensive in Gaza and his relationship with the US.

Psychology suggests that people who keep shopping bags stored inside other shopping bags are not necessarily being cheap. More often, the habit reflects future-oriented thinking, learned routines, resourcefulness, a desire to stay prepared, a sense of control over everyday life, and values shaped by family habits or environmental awareness.
