There’s a lovely boozer in Kentish Town in north London that Keir Starmer used to frequent before Downing Street security intervened which does a very good pub quiz every Monday night. Any team captain knows it is always a fine judgement on when to play your joker: do you do it on the sport, or the general knowledge? The music, or the picture round? Get it right and you might win the star prize at the Pineapple.
Well, it’s clear that team captain Keir likes to play his right at the outset. And what flourish and elan he did it with inside the Oval Office. He reached inside his breast pocket, and pulled out a letter with a red seal on the envelope, and handed it to the president while the TV cameras rolled and the stills photographers captured the moment.
