Sir Keir makes a difficult phone call

The very first sketch from the British Saturday Night Live

Sir Keir Starmer makes a very difficult phone call in the very first sketch from the British Saturday Night Live.

The Prime Minister (George Fouracres) solicits the help of a Gen Z aide (Jack Shep) to try to tell Donald Trump he won't be joining the American war in Iran.

Seeking help he says: 'I'll do anything – except make a stance.'

And he asks Hammed Animashaun’s David Lammy: ‘How did Liz Truss make this job look so easy?’
