SNL UK’s Latest Cold Open Delivers a Brutal 4-Minute Roast of the Prime Minister

SNL UK’s debut sketch targeted Prime Minister Keir Starmer so fiercely that Donald Trump shared it, and the satire seems set to continue. The latest cold open is a parody of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? featuring a flustered Starmer (George Fouracres) struggling with the question: “Is it ever a good idea to give Peter Mandelson a job?” (Starmer has faced criticism for appointing Mandelson as U.S. ambassador, who is under criminal investigation for ties to Jeffrey Epstein). Despite lifelines suggesting “Not in a million years,” Starmer chooses “Yes.”
