PRIVATE Eye has rapped Keir Starmer for “stealing” their joke about the Prime Minister’s chances of staying in office until Christmas.
The Labour leader – not noted for his sense of humour – cracked a remarkably similar joke at Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday about a new book by The Sun’s political editor Harry Cole to one made in the latest issue of the satirical news mag, out the same day, incidentally.
Quoting the blurb of the book, Private Eye said it was due out on December 8, adding: “The book, that is, not the subject.”
