GB News presenter Patrick Christys struggled to contain his fury as he discussed Sir Keir Starmer’s final week in No. 10. The outgoing Labour leader will step down as the Labour leader on Friday (July 18) and be booted from Downing Street on Monday morning (July 20). During his final seven days in power, the politician has enjoyed a trip to Paris to secure a deal for Ukraine in a bid to cement his legacy as PM.
Yesterday (July 15), the 63-year-old politician endured his final PMQs, with barely a dry eye in the house. Now, the 34-year-old TV presenter has launched into a fierce tirade as he reflected on the Labour leader’s final round of parliamentary questions.
He began: “I was absolutely sickened that Keir Starmer got a nice send-off in Parliament today. The Labour MPs there gave him a standing ovation in his last-ever PMQs, never before has a man been less deserving of a standing ovation. He’s been an awful Prime Minister, he’s been the worst man at the worst moment for Britain.
“How dare he say he’s stabilised the economy and invested heavily in public services. He said, ‘I’m proud to leave this country in a better shape than I found it’. It’s absolute BS, isn’t it? The jobs market is tanking, we’re paying more tax than ever before, the benefits bill is through the roof, and look at Rachel Reeves blubbering away as Starmer says goodbye.
“Starmer and Reeves ruined people’s lives. Are we supposed to forget that they were content with freezing pensioners, hammering farmers, and gleefully ruining the education of countless children with their spiteful, envious attack on private schools? They’re plonking more illegal immigrants in British towns, putting everyone at risk. I could go on and on.”
The dad-of-one went on to reveal that the Prime Minister also received a standing ovation from his cabinet later on that day as he called out to irony on the show. He fumed: “What a snivelling bunch of weasels! They all wanted him out, most of them campaigned for Andy Burnham, most Labour MPs stood behind Andy Burnham for his grinning selfie when he won the by-election.”

He concluded his rant by sharing a clip of Welsh MP Carolyn Harris, who broke down in tears as she delivered a highly emotional tribute to Starmer, thanking him for allowing “children to grow up in a fairer Britain”. Mr Christys sighed: “Pass me the sick bucket. For goodness sake, that was like an Oscar-worthy performance, bore off.
“Keir Starmer is not a decent man in my view; there is no evidence of it. I’ve seen a lot of evidence that he’s a cold, unpatriotic robot who has humiliated Britain, been knee-deep in sleaze and cronyism.” It didn’t take long for viewers to flock to X – formerly known as Twitter – to share their thoughts on his final PMQs in Parliament online.
One user penned: “[two cry-laughing emojis] Living in cuckoo land, Starmer. Now, can we look into the assets you have gained as PM? Like you have with Farage.” Another pointed out: “Why the fuss? Keir Starmer is not leaving politics and will remain a backbencher MP, no doubt being surreptitiously offered a cabinet seat in the future. He has simply achieved stage one of the socialist project with Andy Burnham brought in as the ‘replacement'”.
A third chuckled: “A description that’s hard to argue with. Good riddance. It was a sickening display of sycophantic brown-nosing. He deserved no such accolade. He was a lying, traitorous p***k right through his tenure. He makes me sick [vomiting emoji].”
