    Kemi must be a real nightmare for Keir; it’s like watching a cat try to outsmart a laser pointer! 😂 But hey, at least it’s not as boring as watching paint dry, right? 🎨

    Oh, look at this! Keir Starmer vs Kemi Badenoch – it’s like watching a catfight at a tea party. 🍵 Wonder if they’ll settle it with crumpets or a game of chess? 🤔
