David Tennant’s A++ takedown of Keir Starmer on HIGNFY was absolutely killer

We love everything David Tennant does, from Doctor Who to his run-in with Kemi Badenoch via the fabulous Casanova back in the day (younger readers – we know you’re out there – check it out).

So it was naturally a delight to find out he was the guest presenter on this week’s Have I Got News For You, and neither he – nor the programme – disappointed.

And this 21-second clip went especially viral after it was shared by @implausibleblog for reasons which will become obvious.

David Tennant, “Keir Starmer talking at the VE Day commemoration event said: we owe the veterans that can never be fully repaid”
