Sir Keir Starmer, because I want to know if he is the biggest humbug in modern history. Just listen to how he set out his stall when he was Leader of the Opposition.
He once said: “To rebuild trust by reforming the centre of Government, cleaning up sleaze. We need to clean up politics. I will restore standards in public life with a total crackdown on cronyism.
“He knew the accused minister had previously committed predatory behaviour, but he promoted him to a position of power anyway. Honour should be for public service, not Tory cronies.
“Those who spent their time helping cover up Johnson’s lawbreaking are rewarded by becoming lawmakers for the rest of their lives.
“They want the country to grind to a halt so they can feed off the division.
“The game is up. You cannot be a lawmaker and a law breaker. Only then can the rot be carved out.
“Only then can we restore the dignity of that great office. The British public aren’t fools. They never believed a word of it. They think the Prime Minister should do the decent thing and resign. Of course he won’t. Because he is a man without shame.”
Well, just think of some of the words that came out there. He was going to restore trust. He was going to clean up politics. Standards were going to get better.
He knew. And yet the Prime Minister appointed him anyway. He said ‘did the Prime Minister have no shame?’ How much of that do you think applies back now to Sir Keir Starmer himself?

Just hear what he had to say in response to Kemi Badenoch about what he knew in relation to Lord Mandelson.
Mrs Badenoch asked: “Can the Prime Minister tell us, did the official security vetting he received mention Mendelssohn’s ongoing relationship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein?”
“Yes it did,” he resopnded.
Now to use a legal term, he’s banged to rights, isn’t he? Because in that first clip, you heard him say to and about Boris Johnson that he knew about predatory behaviour, but he appointed him anyway.
Do you think for a moment that crossed Sir Keir Starmer’s mind when he appointed Peter Mandelson to be the ambassador of the United Kingdom to the United States?
Do you think for a moment he paused to consider whether what he had been so high and mighty about, so pious about, in his previous incarnation, applied under the circumstances that were then occurring?

Or do you think that he takes the view that there’s one view for him, one rule for him, and one rule for another.
This line that lawmakers mustn’t be law breakers. That seems to be a very good line. And nobody’s accusing Sir Keir Starmer of breaking the law.
But he wanted to rebuild trust. He said it in his manifesto. He said we must rebuild our country. There is no quick fix to the mess the Conservatives have made.
Their failures have sapped our collective confidence that Britain can still achieve great things, despite all the chaos inflicted on Britain.
The country I see is one where working people never let each other down. But that’s humbug too, because he’s let down quite a number of working people, hasn’t he?
Sue Gray, who he appointed to be his Chief of Staff. McSweeney, likewise appointed to be his Chief of Staff, the former Cabinet Secretary Wormald, who he appointed, he chose, he picked his elected and then he abandoned him when it was momentarily inconvenient.
This is an extraordinary figure, a figure who advocates high standard, who poses as the epitome, the acme of morality and uprightness and honour and probity.
And then when you examine what he does in office, he cannot sleep straight in his own bed because he is so crooked.
It is a quite extraordinary state of affairs to have a Prime Minister like this one whose word cannot be trusted, one whose deeds undermine the very office that he holds, and who, to use his own words, clearly has no shame.
He seems to believe in nothing, and he wants to blame everybody else for what goes wrong.
The clips that I showed you bring it home. That this man who pretended he was Saint Francis of Assisi, whose body I believe he would go and see in Assisi at the moment for the first time in 800 years, incidentally, pretended he was Saint Francis of Assisi has turned out to be a rogue.
And having a Prime Minister as a rogue is deeply unsatisfactory as ever.
