YouTube Description
as posted by the channelActor Danny Dyer has dismissed Sir Keir Starmer as a "non-entity" and called for working-class people to be running the country.
The former EastEnders star previously labelled former Conservative prime minister David Cameron a "t***" for leaving other people to sort out Brexit and is similarly forthright about the incumbent of Number 10 Downing Street.
He told The Daily Telegraph: "We need a leader. He's not a leader. I don't know what the f*** he is. He's a f****** non-entity.
"I feel sorry for the people when he goes to a factory and they put these poor people behind him and you can tell they all hate his guts."
Dyer, 47, added that "nobody in politics is likeable" and questioned the lack of working-class people in positions of power.
Iain Dale is joined by former Labour adviser Matthew Torbitt to discuss what it means to be working class in Britain in 2025.
LBC callers also weigh in on the debate, having their say on whether more working class people should be in politics.
