‘Saturday Night Live UK’ Cold Open: Keir Starmer’s Eurovision Viewing Party Gatecrashed By Labour’s Leadership Pretenders

SNL UK‘s cold open went in on political turmoil in the UK.

With Prime Minister Keir Starmer facing a rebellion and resignation calls from within his own party, Sky’s comedy series featured leadership hopefuls gatecrashing 10 Downing Street.

Wes Streeting (Jack Shep), Andy Burnham (Paddy Young), and “room for a red one” Angela Rayner (Celeste Dring) all laid claim to Prime Ministerial office, while Annabel Marlow’s Liz Truss pounced from the cupboard to demand “another chance.”

The pretenders interrupted Starmer (George Fouracres) as he was watching Eurovision, which was broadcasting on BBC One at the same time as SNL UK. It’s the “one show I enjoy,” Starmer moaned.
