Summary
Keir Starmer causes division with a St George's Day tweet criticising 'plastic patriotism' as if he knows what patriotism is. Labour MP Graham Stringer says the PM is on the ropes now and Isabel Oakeshott calls the PM out for 'shit-stirring'. Reform UK's Zia Yusuf hits out at the PM and promises to make schools more patriotic whilst David Maddox dishes the insider dirt on Starmer's dying days in office.
