Yes, but there’s a difference between a Private Eye joke and him being openly mocked on live TV about it. And his subsequent pontification was ridiculous. People clearly weren’t mocking his dad’s trade. Absolutely preposterous to suggest it was.Private Eye were taking the piss out of it a month ago.
I dread him trying to make a joke of it and either flubbing the delivery or getting forced laughter. Someone will probably think that it's a good idea though.

He’s inviting ridicule if he mentions it again. I reckon it’s been shelved.
Starmer did. The next day.I hope so too. I've not seen whatever pontification was made, or noticed anyone suggesting the trade was being mocked - that is bizarre.

They cannot lie. All the other bins cannot deny...Are they big bins?
There is no way the **** thought that’s what they were laughing at.Oh. Oh dear.

Don’t know where he said it. Just heard the clip on Fivelive yesterday. He was tightly mocked by Adrian Chiles.Did he only say it on GB News or repeat it elsewhere?
Maybe he was trying to win votes from the racists that watch that channel that might come from e.g. old mining towns or other deindustrialised areas?

Ok, well wherever he said it, it was obviously broadcast more widely, and it was a preposterous thing to suggest.It was on GB News and the interviewer was Christopher Chope. Can't see that he repeated it anywhere else.
He was interviewed by Mr Upskirt, not exactly Jeremy Paxman.It was on GB News and the interviewer was Christopher Chope. Can't see that he repeated it anywhere else.

Still it can be framed as not having a sense of humour or he's a very strong family man.
If would have surprised me if they had hired a pervert to interview politicians on that channel.Lol. Sorry Christopher Hope. Got mixed up because of his nickname Chopper.

The honest answer would have been “No, they were laughing at me repeatedly parroting that my father was a tool maker”. ‘I don’t know what caused someone to laugh’ is a lie.This seems to be why he said it. He was signalling in to a certain demographic that he's for them.
Asked if Starmer felt the laughter was evidence of snobbishness towards his father, he replied: "I don’t know what caused someone to laugh, but if you're laughing at someone because they work in a factory - that is the one thing that I think had a massive impact on someone like my dad, the disrespect. And it’s in me. You can see I'm angry about it, I am frustrated, because I will never allow that sort of disrespect for working people to be any part of my plans, any part of the Britain that I want as the future.”

The question asked at the sky debate outed him. You could see it in his face. The pause and the stammer followed, then the programming kicked in.Pretty obvious the clown was pitching a disingenuous position of 'them and us' trying to get the Working Class onside.
He, LITERALLY, cannot stop lying. He's the epitome of the politician the public has grown to hate. Deflects, no accountability and changes the subject when caught out.
He's just a robot in a suit in the end.
