Starmer's Kama Sutra Joke Draws Mockery from Comedians During PMQs
# Keir Starmer Mocked by Comedians Over Unsuccessful Kama Sutra Joke
## The Labour leader's attempt at humor during PMQs was met with disbelief
Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, faced ridicule from professional comedians for an ill-received joke about the Kama Sutra during a recent Prime Minister's Questions session. The gaffe occurred while Starmer tried to draw attention to inconsistencies in government policy. Many found his attempt at humor to be misguided and poorly timed.
In response to Starmer's joke, stand-up comedian Geoff Norcott commented, "I've told plenty of crap jokes in my time ... but Starmer's 'Karma Sutra' gag was Inception-level bad." This reaction underscores the general sentiment among comedians regarding Starmer's attempt to incorporate humor into a serious political setting.
Comedian Susie McCabe humorously added, "He probably thought the Kama Sutra was a curry until about 15 minutes ago." Her remarks highlight the perplexity some felt about Starmer's choice of joke, particularly given its content and context.
Critics also pointed out the irony in Starmer's humor. "Joking about someone else changing position on the day you've done so for the 13th time is weird," noted another comedian, emphasizing the inconsistency in Starmer's own political messaging.
