Dive into the whirlwind of Keir Starmer's latest groan-worthy gaffes and urgent calls for action as he battles political chaos like a British superhero!

Keir Starmer had his inaugural Labour Party conference speech take place in Liverpool, a milestone moment that many in the party expected to be filled with jubilation and triumph. However, the event turned into a combination of celebration and serious sobering moments. Starmer attempted to ignite a sense of political direction amid the party, encouraging unity and courage, yet failed to evade some significant discomforts. His speech, which included the words 'brittle Britain or bold Britain', aimed to project a future of tough decisions leading to long-term gain, but the vibe in the room was intriguing to say the least, leaving some wondering if they’d walked into a party or a wake.
