Keir Starmer’s unintended Road Runner impression at the Dispatch Box is our new all-time favourite House of Commons moment
Just when Keir Starmer’s day couldn’t get any worse – not really – he goes and does a Road Runner impression at the Dispatch Box.
Well, that’s what lots of people were saying after this happened, during his response to an especially devastating takedown about the Mandelson affair from Diane Abbott.

We can’t stop watching. And neither could these people, by the looks of it.

Rough day for Starmer, but at least everyone seemed to enjoy his famous Roadrunner impression https://t.co/DzIFJmvrDH pic.twitter.com/WPWW6FMR5t

I’ve watched this more times than I suspect is healthy. I should buy some shares in Acme.

Lmao I thought the sound was going to be coming from someone in the distance, not from him.

And just in case you hadn’t already realised (you had probably already realised) …
He was trying to start saying "Mr Speaker", but I think he was put off by people making noise. So he went "M-M-… Mr Speaker".
