To preempt the official Private Eye front-cover pronouncement next week is obviously lèse-majesté and we should wait patiently - but, come on, this is begging for a caption gag, just as Starmer is gagging for crumbs from Trump's table.
Have at it!

Oh alright, someone has to.
"While you're down there ..."
Cheesy feet Donny
I said 'arse', Starmer, not 'grass'
(I was there - Peter)
I can give you name of man who can pay for decent pair of trousers (and glasses) for pass to white house
1) Trump, mumbling his lines, "if I have seen further than any other US President, it is because I have stood on backs of political midgets"
2) Starmer: "Sorry Donald, just looking for my poll ratings, they're down here somewhere"
3) Starmer: "Wait a minute Donald, looking for one of your marbles that's just dropped, you've not many left"
4) Starmer: "It was a principle Donald! Thank heavens you stomped on it, let me just wipe it up and bin it before anyone notices"
5) Trump: "Sorry about that Kier, we're still house training Vance"
Better than scooping up Biden's shit, at least.
“Release the sausage!”
Kier, why is this book printed sideways?
Reminds me of the perennially endearing phenomenon of a little kiddie opening a book upside down, and saying, "see, I can read!".
One staff officer jumped right over another - er - private's back
Starmer:
Wow, Donald, it really is big and swinging.
Dammit, Starmer, I’ve heard what you do to Waheed to get those damn suits and glasses but don’t even think about it! I’m happy with Melania…
Opps..dropped my weathervane
And after this weekend:
Starmer: What's this strange sigil on the ground?
*Starmer rubs it, and the ghost of John McCain leaps out, and shoots up Trumps nose*
Trump: (to the tune of Barbara-Ann) Bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb-bomb-Iran...
Water under the bridge, infra dig even for Private Eye.
Poor old Starmer does himself no good with the FT's 'The Industrial Strategy will provide certainty for business'. A magic incantation maybe.
Interesting question is 'is an industrial strategy even feasible' in any meaningful use of the word 'strategy'. If there are very few usable ideas around and everyone else knows them then even being quick off the mark is no guarantee.
I don't suppose Henry VIII or George III bothered their heads with 'industrial strategy'. But of course their old stealing land idea is out of fashion for us at least.
Anyone seen 400Kg of uranium, perhaps donated to good causes. Wiser to have left it where it was, it was useless and harmless there.
“Grovelling? No, no, I just dropped my last Werther’s Original…”
(That was DK, BTW. Blogger gone stupid.)
"Now I have to use NHS specs, one of the lenses keeps falling out"
History may not repeat but it often rhymes.
Private Eye has a brilliant cartoon by Roger Latham not a million miles away entitled "He's a rescue politician".
