Sir Keir Starmer has been savaged by a frustrated headteacher for leading pupils in a rendition of a banned TikTok dance that’s been driving teachers up the walls
Sir Keir Starmer was given a telling off by a teacher for encouraging kids in a TikTok phenomenon. The Prime Minister gleefully performed the ‘six-seven’ move during a school trip – sending pupils into hysterics, and leading him to apologise afterwards to a head teacher.
It’s an online trend that sees children chant “six-seven” as they flail their hands about. The PM grinned as he performed it at Welland Academy in Peterborough as he visited to meet youngsters who receive free meals.
It sent a classroom full of youngsters into hysterics, with the kids quickly following his lead. But he was swiftly given a rap on the knuckles by a teacher who said: “Children get into trouble for saying that at my school.”
As he left the classroom, Starmer told head teacher Jo Anderson it had been a “bit wild” with the kids. He then apologised, insisting about his dance move: “I didn’t start it, Miss.”
The Labour leader then doubled down by uploading a video of his antics to Instagram, captioned: “I think I just got myself put in detention… .”
Droves of Brits pointed out online he was having a laugh hours before his tax-mad chancellor is set to bash the nation with her second Budget tomorrow.
Rachel Reeves is set to hammer the nation with a string of new price hikes – despite pledging not to raise taxes or borrowing. Labour have constantly moaned their tax-raising is the consequence of the Tories leaving the nation in a sorry state.
One Starmer critic referenced the claim as they joked about Starmer’s video on X: “If you watch the video fully… Keir also says that he didn’t start it … typical blame culture from Labour.”
Another said about the PM: “It must’ve been nice for Keir to spend time with people the same mental age as him,” while another wrote online: “He has a lot to apologise for, this is bottom of the list!”
Keir has recently faced a brutal internal Labour briefing war that has raised questions about his future as leader.
The wording of the “six-seven” dance is thought to have come from a song called Doot Doot (67) by US rapper Skrilla released last year.
