Donald Trump Shares SNL UK Sketch Mocking Keir Starmer

Donald Trump has shared a Saturday Night Live UK sketch mocking Keir Starmer.

The US president posted the skit from the new Sky UK comedy show on his Truth Social account on Sunday.

In it, Starmer is portrayed as a weak and ineffectual prime minister who is scared of the US president.

At the start of the two-and-a-half minute clip, the PM is shown at his desk in 10 Downing Street waiting on a phone call from Trump.

At one point, he says to deputy PM David Lammy: “Oh golly, but what if Donald shouts at me? What day I say Lammy?”

To laughter from the audience, Lammy replies: “Just be yourself, prime minister. Yourself is who everyone likes.”

When Trump phones and says hello, Starmer screams and slams the phone down.

He then says: “Sod that scary, scary wonderful president. Why is he so difficult to talk to?”

Later in the sketch, Starmer says: “I’m out of my depth here, Lammy. How did Liz Truss make this job look so easy?”

When told by a “Gen Z adviser” what he should do to connect with Trump, the PM says: “I’ll try anything, I’ll do anything – except make a stand.”

Trump’s decision to post the sketch to his 12 million followers is another shot across Starmer’s bows as the war in Iran continues.

The US president has been angry with the PM ever since he initially refused his request for American jets to use RAF bases to attack the country.

Starmer has since said America can use the bases, but only to launch “defensive” missions against Iranian launch sites.

Trump has repeatedly attacked the PM, saying he is “not Winston Churchill” and accusing him of acting too slowly over the conflict.
