He's utterly disingenuous. He knows the audience weren't laughing at his father's job,but his constant reminding people is Dad was a "Toolmaker". In fact both his parents were toolmakers!

Hes dishonest as usaual, HIS FATHER OWNED THE COMPANY in Oxted Surry, which is a far cry from a working class tradesman he pretends he was.

Snake oil salesman. Slippery as a toad.

People laughed because his father OWNED the factory,Starmer doesn't say that.

Why doesn't someone tell him it's nothing to do with his dad working in a factory. My god that's not something people would judge you for. It's because he's always saying it. Plus the fact that it's becoming a joke because his dad made him and he's a tool. His own government will have him out the door before he's unpacked.

Did you know his dad was a toolmaker? The least useful tool he ever made was Keir.

Hes the biggest tool his father ever made..

Vote reform UK

That man is not to be trusted

Just to put it in simple terms his dad made him so he's the tool.

The laughter is about Starmer's pretend relationship with the working class not his father

What a tool

HE KEEPS BRINGING UP HIS DAD! HE SHOULD BLAME HIMSELF!! No self-awareness. Is Starmer a narcissist?

It wasnt his fathers respectable job it was the tool on the stage they laughed at .And my father and grandfather are turning in their graves at what the labour party have become. Definitely not for working people or businesses.

If Labour win all you have to do is go on benifits for 5 years cause working will be pointless.

The biggest liar in politics and thats what his own side says!

I think he misunderstood the laughing. It’s the fact he makes it out tthat his dad was a factory worker whereas his dad owned the factory

what an awful man. people will actually vote for this? i need to leave

Nobody was laughing at his Dad being a tool maker. They laughed at the idea that he tries to use the fact to make out he's one of the people. He couldn't be LESS one of the people if he tried.

"My Daddy was a millionaire who owned a company, and I was privately educated - but I know all about poverty - my Butler is poor, my Chauffer is poor, my mansion cleaner is poor, my gardener is poor"..

His Dad owned a factory that made tools. His Dad made a great tool with Mrs Starmer.

Still not getting it is he...

He's a corrupt liar.

Council tax will go up Will not reduce tax Massive benifits Nobody working There no working class any more Totally useless Conservative will reduce tax and tax free state pension Beginning a pension Conservative will do me Yes all the same I need to look after my pension

They laughed not because his father was a toolmaker but because he’s a tool 😬oh the irony

VOTE REFORM IF YOU DONT WANT THIS SNAKE IN POWER.

Anyone who says “ we’ve been very clear” is not truthful!

If politicians had to put a fiver in the box marked "not answering the question" there would be no need for any tax rises nor any fiscal deficit.

What a Lier is dad owned the factory, so if they didn't have a lot of money how did he go to private school, he is taking bollocks.

'We've been very clear' Those words will come back to haunt this shady individual. Clear as mud Sir Kneelalot, clear as mud. Tories rubbish, labour worse. Vote Reform.

Even chopper was struggling to not burst out laughing.

The fact he doesn't get the joke makes it all the funnier, as that's what a tool would do.

His dad owned the factory. Didn’t work in it

❤🎉🎉REFORM 🎉🎉❤ ❤🌟🌟NIGEL FARAGE 🌟🌟❤

if you wasn't sure just how far this clown is out of touch with people from outside of the Westminster bubble , here you have it!!!! God help us !!!!

God help us if this tool comes to any power!

They weren’t laughing because his Dad was a factory worker. It was a reaction to Starmer’s repeating the same old story about his tough beginnings. He is a typical lawyer, twisting words! Labour will raise all other taxes. Council tax , inheritance, CG tax , fuel…et.

They laughed cause he keeps REPEATING IT!!

Why do politicians go on about their parents and how normal they are. Thats why people laugh smarmy starmer!

Don't trust a word he says.

Kid gloves interview - are Labour going to tax people that are not working - for example: pensioners?

God help us if Chairman Keir gets in.

Didn't his father own the factory?

Clement Atlee is the one turning in his grave!

Says keith who tried to prevent a pub owner from going in to his own pub!

Oxted is a bleak place full of factory chimneys urchins and poverty. His dad had cardboard in his shoes.

He's worse than khan

I am a tool, my dad made me that way !!

what would be funny if football fans made a chant for the terraces about his daddy been a tool maker

Kier. They’re not laughing at your father, they’re laughing at you. The fact that he doesn’t see that and said the line AGAIN is amazing

Starmer truly despises the “great unwashed”.

Jimmy Saviles guardian wasn't very happy was he there? I was expecting him to suddenly STOP the interview while he demonstrated how to make a hammer?

It’s a wonder his teeth don’t fall out!

Slippery Lawyer tactic's. He adds "My father was a tool maker..." to fill in gaps when he doesn't want to answer, hoping we'll forget the question as he's changed the subject. If he doesn't get the joke that he adds it to 'EVERY' discussion, speech, and see the funny side,,,, god help us! Vote Reform

Can a journalist please do their job and ask Sir Keir if his dad was a simple like anyone else toolmaker or owned the factory himself? Why aren't we allowed to know?

No one is laughing at his dad. They're laughing because he has now over used that line, it's almost become his catch phrase now.

Nobody was laughing at Starmers late father. They were laughing at him! We’re not bothered or interested in what Starmers father did for a living. We’re bored and fed up with him stuffing it down our throats every time he is interviewed. We would rather hear what he intends to do to stop the boats! I am not interested in hearing about Sunak not having Sky TV either…..this is supposed to be a GENERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN….not a moronic pity-play Vote for The Reform Party

I enjoyed reading that Starmers dad was not a tool maker, he was a FOOL maker.

People on benefits shouldn't get cash send them shopping once a week with a dvd on how to cook

Starmer is a ROBOT 🤖 WE HAVE TO KEEP LABOUR OUT OF NUMBER TEN FOR OUR CHILDREN GRANDCHILDREN AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF ENGLISH PEOPLE.

Nobody was laughing at his dad or toolmakers - they were laughing at a millionaire lawyer politician trying to make out he is working class. It's this 'spin' that the real working class cannot stand.

This man doesn’t give a damn about his voting people. Labour will be axed for tax on us the workers and veteran pensioners. All pain and no gain and no cuter for our children

Mr botox, his face doesn't move 😂

Not the sharpest **** in the box, is he really the best this country can do?.

He's an out and out liar. Never answers a question.

So his Dad lied as well, never told those who asked him what he did, that he owned the bloody place. Like father, like son. Although let's be honest , the laugh is because his Dad did indeed make a tool.

Personally I believe both Starmer's mum and dad were tool makers!

The term tool is slang that is used to describe someone who is behaving like an egotistical jerk or acting like a douchebag. It is commonly used to call out men who display toxic, foolish, domineering, or insensitive behavior. It's comedy.

The tool of a toolmaker get back in your toolbox.

The biggest tool his dad made? Keir.

Utter crap, nobody laughs because you work in a factory , I don't believe that storey for one second

is his father a toolmaker ?

People laugh because he keeps saying it and means nothing

You cannot trust any of them any longer, we need to chage the system of things .

he is as sincere as a block of wood .

We need to Vote 🗳️ the Tories Out ‼️

He will change the country, very excited for the next 5 years

No, people aren’t laughing at your dad, Sir Keir. It’s at your constant reference to ‘toolmaker’. You don’t get the double entendre. Generally, we don’t laugh at honest, hard-working people, whether they’re in a factory, a shop, a restaurant or a hospital. We understand they are the backbone of our country. We don’t like THEM being disrespected by rubbish roads, housing, tax-burdens, failed border control, loss of local culture, enforced wokery, disconnected privileged elites telling them how to live their lives. Sound familiar?

Check out Starmer gets ambushed on train brilliant.

Vote Reform... You know it makes sense...

I simply don’t believe a word he says

Sadiq khan father was a bus driver but Sadiq khan still drives his car in a three car convoy 🤔🙊🙉🙈

Oh god help us all hes full of bull shit

Having seen Keir in action I can indeed confirm his dad made tools.

Was it the fact that factory jobs for humans are very rare these days.wonder if that was the sad reason for the laughter?

The more he says, the more I like him. He is spot on, and I am very proud that my country is finally coming to it's senses

Thousands and millions of people work in factories

Was your old man as big a weapon as you?

I think that that deluded housing officer in staines who came out with the 'excuse' about local connections ought to be made to pay for all the foreigners who she has allowed in our country plus all the loss of british lives as a result!

When they get in,increases will be applied under the guise of ‘we didn’t realise how bad the state that the tories had left us in’.

lets hope things don't get even worse. What is JLR closes and 100,000 lose their jobs, Labour shut MG Rover with similar job losses in 2005, Blair took us to war with Iraq hope Starmer doesn't take us to war with Russia

I think most people have no interest in his family or parents. But many are interested in his policies, which is something he seems quite keen to play down.

Thank god the man who can't think on his feet is sitting down.

No one laughed the first few times he mentioned his father’s occupation, but after hearing it hundreds of times, the comment is overdone and becomes humorous. It has nothing to do with his father working in a factory, it is in fact Starmer himself who is making it amusing by continuously saying it in every interview.

Labour = Austerity

The clash. My daddy was a toolmaker

Keir Starmer, the crowd did NOT laugh at your Dad's occupation. They laughed at your worn and repeated 'campaign slogan' that "[my Dad] was a tool maker..."

Pure narricist

He's spinning it to get sympathy and Chris Hope fell for it.

His father will already be turning in his grave at the state of this nation is in...!
