Jeremy Clarkson makes U-turn as he backs Keir Starmer for PM after ‘idiot Lego Head' swipe

Sir Keir Starmer, 60, has managed to win over Jeremy Clarkson, 62, after the Clarkson’s Farm host was worried about the Labour MP becoming prime minister due to his support of Jeremy Corbyn, 73. Jeremy had also previously lashed out at Starmer earlier this year for slamming former PM Boris Johnson over raising taxes for working people during PMQs in February.The ex-Top Gear host had branded Sir Keir an “idiot” over his remarks at the time, while hitting out at his hairstyle, branding the politician “Sir Lego Head”.However, in his latest column, Jeremy admitted he won’t “lose too much sleep” if Sir Keir manages to “get into No10”.The presenter said: “I think most of us accept that Labour will win the next election and that, as a result, Sir Starmer will be PM.“On the face of it, this is scary, because we all remember that he supported Corbyn.“Which means that behind the Lego hair and the cheery smile he sits on the political spectrum somewhere between Stalin and Scargill.”Despite these concerns, Jeremy went on to highlight that Tony Blair was “a proper little lefty”, but has since been defending Qatar amid the human rights controversies surrounding holding the 2022 World Cup in the country.The opinionated television personality continued in his The Sun column: “So who’s Starmer? What does he really think?“Well, to try to find out, I’ve had a look at his famously secretive family. “And it turns out his wife, Victoria, is a tennis fan and that the couple called their son Toby.“They’ve never revealed, publicly, the name of their daughter.
